Specific indications include: intertrochanteric derotation and Varus osteotomies, femoral neck and pertrochanteric fractures, and intertrochanteric valgus osteotomies. ## Device Story Device consists of metallic cortical screws designed as a line extension for the OrthoPediatrics Locking Proximal Femur System. Screws provide temporary internal fixation and stabilization for long bone fractures and osteotomies in pediatric and small stature adult patients. Operated by surgeons in clinical settings; screws are implanted to provide immediate stability during the natural bone healing process. Output is mechanical fixation of bone segments. Benefits include stabilization of fractures and osteotomies to facilitate healing. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is supported by non-clinical engineering analysis. ## Technological Characteristics Materials: BIODUR stainless steel (ASTM 2229-07). Design: Solid cortical screws (lengths 55mm-80mm). Function: Temporary bone fixation/stabilization. Sterilization: Provided non-sterile. ## Regulatory Identification Single/multiple component metallic bone fixation appliances and accessories are devices intended to be implanted consisting of one or more metallic components and their metallic fasteners. The devices contain a plate, a nail/plate combination, or a blade/plate combination that are made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, stainless steel, and titanium, that are intended to be held in position with fasteners, such as screws and nails, or bolts, nuts, and washers. These devices are used for fixation of fractures of the proximal or distal end of long bones, such as intracapsular, intertrochanteric, intercervical, supracondylar, or condylar fractures of the femur; for fusion of a joint; or for surgical procedures that involve cutting a bone. The devices may be implanted or attached through the skin so that a pulling force (traction) may be applied to the skeletal system. ## Predicate Devices - OrthoPediatrics Locking Proximal Femur System ([K111086](/device/K111086.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

The screws are part of one system that combines implants (plates and screws) and instruments. The additional cortical screw sizes include the following: 55mm, 60mm, 65mm, 70mm, 75mm, and 80mm. - Materials: The cannulated screws are manufactured from medical grade BIODUR stainless steel ● which meet ASTM 2229-07 standard. - . Function: The system, which includes the cortical screws, functions to provide immediate stability and temporary fixation during the natural healing process. {4}------------------------------------------------ # Intended Use and Indications for Use The OrthoPediatrics Locking Proximal Femur System Cortical Screws are intended for temporary internal fixation and stabilization of long bone fractures and osteotomies, mal-unions, and non-unions, in pediatric and small stature adults. Specific indications include: intertrochanteric derotation and Varus osteotomies, femoral neck and pertrochanteric fractures, and intertrochanteric valgus osteotomies. # Summary of Technological Characteristics The technological characteristics (materials, design, sizing, and indications) of the Locking Proximal Femur System Cortical Screws are similar to the predicate system's screws. The rationale for substantial equivalence is based on consideration of the following characteristics: Intended Use: The proposed Locking Proximal Femur System Cortical Screws are intended for temporary internal fixation and stabilization of long bone fractures and osteotomies, malunions, and non-unions, in pediatric and small stature adults which is the same as the predicate device. Indications for Use: The proposed Locking Proximal Femur System Cortical Screws Indications for Use are identical to the predicate devices. Materials: The proposed Locking Proximal Femur System Cortical Screws use the identical implant material as the predicate system's screws. Design Features: The proposed Locking Proximal Femur System Cortical Screws incorporate similar design features as the predicate system's screws with the difference being the length of the screw and the change from cannulated to solid. Sterilization: The proposed Locking Proximal Femur System Cortical Screws are provided nonsterile, which is identical to the predicate device. ### Summary of Performance Data (Nonclinical and/or Clinical) - . Non-Clinical Tests - Engineering analysis was performed to show substantial equivalence between the o subject device and predicate device. - . Clinical Tests - None provided as a basis for substantial equivalence. ### Substantial Equivalence Conclusion OrthoPediatrics believes that the Locking Proximal Femur System Cortical Screws are substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predical screws (K111086) based on the similarities of design, intended use, materials, and the results of verification activities conducted. No new risks have been identified and it is expected that the Locking Proximal Femur System Cortical Screws will perform substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate device. --- **Source:** [https://fda.innolitics.com/submissions/OR/subpart-d%E2%80%94prosthetic-devices/HRS/K162307](https://fda.innolitics.com/submissions/OR/subpart-d%E2%80%94prosthetic-devices/HRS/K162307) **Published by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com)** — a medical-device software consultancy.
