Indications include: 1. Treatment of patients who are not candidates for total knee arthroplasty. 2. Irretrievably failed total knee arthroplasty. 3. Limb salvage in oncology surgery. 4. Trauma. 5. Any other condition where there is little soft tissue or bony tissue available for support, and arthrodesis is the treatment of choice. These devices are intended for cemented use only. ## Device Story Modular Arthrodesis Nail provides rigid fixation for knee arthrodesis and long bone segmental defect replacement. Device consists of femoral and tibial adapter segments connected by a central locking collar. Adapter segments available in two resection lengths (1 cm or 3 cm) and two body styles (standard or elliptical). Used in surgical settings by orthopedic surgeons. Device requires cement for fixation. Provides structural support for patients with failed arthroplasty, trauma, or oncological defects. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data. Substantial equivalence supported by bench-top mechanical testing. ## Technological Characteristics Multi-component intramedullary fixation rod. Material: Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy (ASTM F-136). Design: Modular femoral and tibial adapter segments with central locking collar. Resection lengths: 1 cm or 3 cm. Body styles: standard or elliptical. Fixation: Cemented use only. ## 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 - Wichita® Fusion Nail ([K993603](/device/K993603.md)) - Titanium Intramedullary Nails ([K982953](/device/K982953.md)) - T2 Arthrodesis Nail System ([K020384](/device/K020384.md)) - Orthopedic Salvage System ([K002757](/device/K002757.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).
