## Intended Use

The TMC Plating System is intended for use in stabilization of fresh fractures, joint fusion and reconstruction of small bones of the feet. The system can be used in both and pediatric patients aged > 12 years. In the foot, the system can be used for the following specific examples: - First metatarsal osteotomies for hallux valgus correction such as: - Opening base wedge osteotomy - · Closing base wedge osteotomy - · Crescentic osteotomy - · Proximal Chevron osteotomy - · Distal Chevron osteotomy (Austin) - First metatarsal fracture fixation - Arthrodesis of the tarsometatarsal (TMT) joints or the 1st metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint for the treatment of - deformity (e.g., hallux valgus, hallux rigidus, metatarsus adductus) and / or arthritis - Flatfoot Osteotomies - · Lateral Column Lengthening (Evans Osteotomy) - · Plantar Flexion Opening Wedge Osteotomy of the Medial Cuneiform (Cotton - Osteotomy) - Mid / Flatfoot Fusions - · LisFranc Arthrodesis and/or Stabilization - · Intercuneiform Fusions - Navicular-Cuneiform (NC) Fusion - · Talo-Navicular (TN) Fusion - Calcaneo-Cubiod (CC) Fusion - Medial Column Fusion

## Device Story

TMC Plating System consists of metallic plates (straight, L-shaped, H-shaped, curved, Python) and screws; used for bone fixation, fusion, and reconstruction of small foot bones. Operated by surgeons in clinical settings; provides mechanical stabilization of bone segments during healing. Benefits include structural support for osteotomies, fusions, and fracture repair. No electronic or software components.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data; bench testing not required for this submission as it involves a clarification of the indications for use statement.

## Technological Characteristics

Materials: Medical grade titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V-ELI) per ASTM F136. Components: Plates (straight, L-shaped, H-shaped, curved, Python) and screws. Sterilization: Gamma irradiation. No software or electronic components.

## 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.

#### Device Description:

The Treace Medical Concepts (TMC) Plating System includes straight, L-shaped, H- shaped, curved and Python plates and associated screws. The plates and screws are intended for use in stabilization and fixation of fractures, revision procedures, fusions, and reconstructions (osteotomy) of small bones of the foot.

The purpose of this special 510(k) is to clarify the indications for use for the Treace Medical Concepts (TMC) Plating System (K192504 and K200961).

All implantable components are manufactured from medical grade titanium alloy (Ti-6AI-4V-ELI) per ASTM F136 and are provided sterile by gamma irradiation.

{4}------------------------------------------------

## Indications for Use:

The TMC Plating System is intended for use in stabilization of fresh fractures, revision procedures, joint fusion and reconstruction of small bones of the feet. The system can be used in both adult and pediatric patients aged >12 years. In the foot, the system can be used for the following specific examples:

- First metatarsal osteotomies for hallux valgus correction such as:

- · Opening base wedge osteotomy
- Closing base wedge osteotomy
- · Crescentic osteotomy
- Proximal Chevron osteotomy
- Distal Chevron osteotomy (Austin)

- Arthrodesis of the tarsometatarsal (TMT) joints or the 1st metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint for the treatment of deformity (e.g., hallux valgus, hallux rigidus, metatarsus adductus) and / or arthritis

- First metatarsal fracture fixation
- Flatfoot Osteotomies
	- · Lateral Column Lengthening (Evans Osteotomy)
	- Plantar Flexion Opening Wedge Osteotomy of the Medial Cuneiform (Cotton
	- Osteotomy)
- Mid / Flatfoot Fusions
	- LisFranc Arthrodesis and/or Stabilization
	- Intercuneiform Fusions
	- Navicular-Cuneiform (NC) Fusion
	- Talo-Navicular (TN) Fusion
	- Calcaneo-Cubiod (CC) Fusion
- Medial Column Fusion

## Substantial Equivalence:

The subject TMC Plating System is substantially equivalent to the predicate TMC Plating System previously cleared in K143717, K153531, K183321, K192504, and K200961.

The subject TMC Plating System is manufactured from titanium (Ti-6Al-4V-ELI) and is intended to be used in stabilization of fresh fractures, revision procedures, joint fusion and reconstruction of small bones of the feet, identical to the predicate devices. Indications for use have been clarified and were found through a risk analysis including literature review to be equivalent to the predicate device. The subject TMC Plating System also shares similar geometry, and construction with the predicate devices.

{5}------------------------------------------------

Thus, it can be concluded that the subject changes to the Indications for Use do not raise new questions about safety and effectiveness.

## Performance Testing:

Performance testing was not required to support the clarification of the indications statement.

## Conclusion:

The Treace Medical Concepts (TMC) Screw Fixation System has identical design and construction to the predicate devices. A risk analysis found that the Indications for Use statement remain substantially equivalent to those of the system in previous clearances. Therefore, it can be concluded that the subject device is as safe, as effective, and performs as safely and effectively as the predicate device.
