The intramedullary rods can be fixed with interlocking screws without or with bone cement. ## Device Story OsteoBridge® IDSF is a modular intramedullary rod system for stabilizing segmental bone defects in the humerus, tibia, or femur. The system consists of rod segments and attachment shells that are clamped together using multiple screws to form a continuous rod; reducing bushings allow for diameter matching within the medullary canal. The device is used by surgeons in clinical settings to bridge bone gaps in oncology patients; fixation is achieved via interlocking screws, with or without bone cement. By providing structural support to the affected bone, the device facilitates stabilization following tumor-related resection. The system is manufactured from Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. Mechanical and functional testing conducted per ASTM F-1264-03, including static four-point bend tests, static torsion tests, four-point bending fatigue tests, and three-point bending fatigue tests of locking screws on worst-case humeral, tibial, and femoral configurations. ## Technological Characteristics Modular intramedullary rod system; materials: Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy (ASTM F-136, ISO 5832/3); components: rod segments, attachment shells, reducing bushings, interlocking screws; sterilization: ANSI/AAMI ST32-1991 (sterile components) or ANSI ST46-1993 (non-sterile components). ## 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 Humeral Nail ([K934643](/device/K934643.md)) - Ace Aim Tibial Nail ([K934643](/device/K934643.md)) - Zindrick IM Rod ([K882443](/device/K882443.md)) - ACE AIM Femoral Nail ([K871539](/device/K871539.md)) - Synthes Unreamed Humeral Nail (UHM) ([K933518](/device/K933518.md)) - Synthes Unreamed Tibial Nail (UTN) ([K914453](/device/K914453.md)) - Russell-Taylor Femoral Nail ([K893377](/device/K893377.md)) - Metagen Segmental Defect Replacement System ([K980609](/device/K980609.md)) - Howmedica Modular Proximal Humerus Replacement System ([K954559](/device/K954559.md)) - Zimmer Femorotibial Medullary Nail ([K853250](/device/K853250.md)) ## Reference Devices - Modular Oncology System Technology ([K960626](/device/K960626.md)) - SOS Proximal Femur ([K933281](/device/K933281.md)) - Modular Intercalary Humeral Spacer (Mayo Clinic) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

The segments are designed to be attached together to form a complete intramedullary rod using semiciteular hollow attachment shells that are clamped together with multiple screws to create a complete intramedullary rod and bridge the bonaliped with middle section of either humerus, tibia or femur. Reducing bushings allow the use of different diameter nails proximally and distally to provide optimal fit of the intract and with the medillary canal of the proximally and and distal segments of the bone to be fixed. All components of the OsteoBridge® Humeral IDSF -Intramedullary Segment Fixation Rod System are manufactured from Ti-6Al-4V Titanium Alloy conforming to ASTM F-136. The device is divided into three categories/product size ranges that are suitable for each boney application; humerus, tibia or femur (see tables below). | Humerus | | | | |----------|------------------|----------|-------------| | | Attachment Shell | | Nail | | Dia [mm] | Length [mm] | Dia [mm] | Length [mm] | {1}------------------------------------------------ | A Court &
