Used for interference fixation of soft tissue and bone-tendon-bone patellar grafts during cruciate ligament repair. Applied via arthroscopy or arthrotomy by orthopedic surgeons. Available in lengths 20-50 mm and diameters 7-12 mm to accommodate patient/graft morphology. Provides mechanical fixation to stabilize grafts during healing. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence based on design and intended use similarities. ## Technological Characteristics Titanium material; cannulated, tapered, smooth threaded form factor; dimensions 20-50 mm length, 7-12 mm diameter. Mechanical bone fixation fastener. ## Regulatory Identification A smooth or threaded metallic bone fixation fastener is a device intended to be implanted that consists of a stiff wire segment or rod made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum and stainless steel, and that may be smooth on the outside, fully or partially threaded, straight or U-shaped; and may be either blunt pointed, sharp pointed, or have a formed, slotted head on the end. It may be used for fixation of bone fractures, for bone reconstructions, as a guide pin for insertion of other implants, or it may be implanted through the skin so that a pulling force (traction) may be applied to the skeletal system. ## Predicate Devices - Alaron Technologies, LLC ([K010595](/device/K010595.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Inc. Address: 504 McCormick Drive. Glen Burnie, MD 21061 Phone: 410 761 9411 ext. 11 410 760 9422 Fax: Mr Patrick Janin Contact: Date of submission: 3/28/2002 Name of device: Titanium cannulated interference screw Common or usual name: Titanium interference screw Classification: Smooth or threaded bone fixation fastener: 888.3040 Predicate device: K010595: Alaron Technologies, LLC. Device intended use, description and substantial equivalence: The titanium cannulated interference screw is tapered and has a smooth threaded design. which provides interference fixation of soft tissue grafts and bone-tendon-bone patellar grafts during cruciate ligament repair through arthroscopy or arthrotomy. The screw comes in lengths between 20 and 50 mm and diameters between 7mm and 12mm. resulting in a screw adapted to the morphology of the graft and patient. The titanium cannulated interference screw and the predicate device have the same overall design. In addition, the small differences in design do not affect the use, safety and effectiveness, between the device and the predicate device. Based on these similarities and equivalences we believe our titanium cannulated interference screw and the Alaron interference screw K010595 are substantially equivalent for the interference fixation of soft tissue and Bone Tendon Bone graft in cruciate ligament reconstruction through arthroscopy or arthrotomy. {1}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/1/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
