Fixation and stabilization of bones of the feet; such as: Akin-Osteotomie, Scarf-Osteotomie, Chevron-Austin-Osteotomie, MPG-Arthrodesis, Closing-Wedge Osteotomie. The Scarf screw can be used for the fixation of almost all common osteotomies of the first metatarsal. Fixation and stabilization of bones of the feet; such as Weil-Osteotomie
Device Story
OSS/(Scarf) and OSW screws are metallic bone fixation fasteners designed for orthopedic foot surgery. Used by surgeons for internal fixation and stabilization of bones during osteotomy procedures (e.g., Scarf, Akin, Chevron-Austin, Weil) and MTP arthrodesis. The OSW screw features a 'Twist-Off' design. Devices are implanted to maintain bone alignment during the healing process, facilitating bone fusion or correction of foot deformities.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence is based on technological characteristics and intended use for bone fixation.
Technological Characteristics
Metallic bone fixation fasteners (screws). Includes OSS/(Scarf) and OSW (Twist-Off) variants. Designed for orthopedic fixation of foot bones. Class II device under 21 CFR 888.3040.
Indications for Use
Indicated for fixation and stabilization of foot bones, specifically for osteotomies including Akin, Scarf, Chevron-Austin, Closing-Wedge, and Weil osteotomies, and MTP (MPG) arthrodesis. Prescription use only.
Regulatory Classification
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.
