This includes upper extremity fractures in all patients and lower extremity fractures in pediatric or small-stature patients. This system is also intended to treat metaphyseal and epiphyseal fractures, such as radial neck fractures and is intended for fixation of small long bones, such as carpal and tarsal bones. In pediatric applications, the flexibility of the EIN allows it to be inserted at a point which avoids disruption to the bone growth plate. ## Device Story The Synthes Elastic Intramedullary Nail (EIN) End Cap is a mechanical accessory for the EIN System. It is inserted over the external portion of the nail and threaded into cancellous bone in an oblique orientation. The device is used by surgeons in a clinical/OR setting to secure the nail within the bone. It provides mechanical fixation for fractures in pediatric, small-stature, or narrow-canal patients. No software or electronic components are involved. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data provided; bench testing only. ## Technological Characteristics Mechanical orthopedic implant; end cap threaded into cancellous bone. Materials and design are consistent with the predicate EIN system. No software, electronics, or energy sources. ## 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 - Synthes Stainless Steel Elastic Intramedullary Nail (EIN) System ([K081452](/device/K081452.md)) - Synthes Elastic Intramedullary Nail (EIN) End Cap ([K053105](/device/K053105.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).
