## Intended Use

The T2® Recon Nail System indications include fixation of subtrochanteric, interochanteric, ipsilateral neck/shaft, communited proximal femoral shaft fractures, femoral fixation required as a result of pathological disease, and temporary stabilization of fractures of the femoral shaft ranging from the femoral neck to the supracondylar regions of the femur.

## Device Story

T2 Recon Nail System is a family of intramedullary (IM) nails for femoral fracture fixation. This line extension modifies the anterior-to-posterior radius of curvature from 2000mm to 1500mm to improve anatomical fit. The device is a mechanical orthopedic implant used by surgeons in clinical settings to stabilize femoral fractures. It functions as an internal fixation rod. Safety and effectiveness were established via engineering analysis, Failure Mode Effect Analysis (FMEA), and mechanical testing comparing the new design to the predicate. The device provides structural support to the femur, facilitating bone healing and patient recovery.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Evidence consists of engineering analysis, Failure Mode Effect Analysis (FMEA), and mechanical testing of critical loading areas to verify that the modified radius of curvature does not compromise device performance.

## Technological Characteristics

Intramedullary fixation rod; modified anterior-to-posterior radius of curvature (1500mm). Mechanical device; no software or energy source. Materials and sterilization methods are consistent with the predicate T2 Recon Nail System (K032898).

## 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

- T2 Recon Nail System ([K032898](/device/K032898.md))
- Gamma 3 Nail System ([K034002](/device/K034002.md))

#### Description:

The T2® Recon Nail System is a family of IM (Intramedullary) Nails for various types of femoral fractures. This Special 510(k) submission is intended to address modifications to the T20 Recon Nail System cleared under K032898. The anterior curve is being modified as part of a line extension of the T2® Recon Nail System. The T2 Recon Nail System currently contains 2000mm anterior to posterior radius of curvature.

#### Intended Use:

The line extension to the T2® Recon Nail System does not alter the intended use of the predicate system as cleared in its' respective premarket notification for use of the subject nail is provided below.

#### Indications:

The T2® Recon Nail System indications include fixation of subtrochanteric, interochanteric, ipsilateral neck/shaft, communited proximal femoral shaft fractures, femoral fixation required as a result of pathological disease, and temporary stabilization of fractures of the femoral shaft ranging from the femoral neck to the supracondylar regions of the femur.

#### Proposed Modification:

The anterior to posterior curve is being modified as part of a line extension of the T2® Recon Nail System. The T2 Recon Nail System currently contains 2000mm anterior to posterior radius of curvature. The subject 1500mm radius of curvature nail design is substantially equivalent to

{1}------------------------------------------------

other devices currently marketed in the United States. A predicate device for the 1500mm radius of curvature design is the Gamma 3 Nail System cleared under K034002.

2,

K102992

### Summary of Data:

An engineering analysis of the new radius of curvature design has been performed to show that it does not affect the safety and effectiveness of the device. Potential risks analyzed include anatomical fit of the new radius of curvature as well as mechanical strength of the T2® Recon Nail. These risks have been investigated with use of failure mode effect analysis (FMEA) and prior mechanical testing which analyzed the critical loading areas of the device and demonstrate how the proposed radius of curvature does not affect device performance.
