## Intended Use

The ACE BioWin Tibial Nailing System is indicated in reamed and unreamed applications for internal fixation of tibial fractures including transverse fractures, oblique fractures, spiral fractures, segmental fractures, comminuted fractures, fractures with bone loss, bone transport, open fractures, corrective osteotomies, pathologic fractures, pseudoarthrosis of the tibial shaft, nonunions, metaphyseal fractures and epiphyseal fractures.

## Device Story

System consists of intramedullary nail, cortical screws, end cap, and optional bioresorbable window. Used for internal fixation of tibial fractures. Surgeon inserts nail into tibial canal to stabilize bone segments. Provides mechanical support for fracture healing. Used in clinical/surgical settings by orthopedic surgeons.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; bench testing only.

## Technological Characteristics

Intramedullary nail, cortical screws, and end cap manufactured from Titanium (Ti-6Al-4V ELI). Optional bioresorbable window made from lactide/glycolide copolymer. Mechanical fixation device.

## Regulatory Identification

An intramedullary fixation rod is a device intended to be implanted that consists of a rod made of alloys such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum and stainless steel. It is inserted into the medullary (bone marrow) canal of long bones for the fixation of fractures.

## Predicate Devices

- ACE AIM Tibial Nail ([K972183](/device/K972183.md))
- Synthes AO Nail ([K914453](/device/K914453.md))
