Intended Use

The Latarjet Cortical Screw Set is intended to provide the orthopedic surgeon a means of bone fixation and to assist in the management of fractures and reconstructive surgeries.

Device Story

Latarjet Cortical Screw Set consists of implantable fixation screws (36mm-42mm lengths) and a threaded bushing; used for fixation of bone grafts or bone fragments to cortical bone in shoulder surgeries. Bushing attaches to proximal end of screw to assist in positioning during fixation. Device supplied non-sterile for single patient use. Operated by orthopedic surgeons in clinical/surgical settings to stabilize bone fragments, facilitating healing in fracture or reconstructive cases.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence based on design comparison and performance validation.

Technological Characteristics

Materials: Titanium alloy or Stainless Steel. Components: Fixation screw and threaded bushing. Form factor: 36mm-42mm screw lengths. Non-sterile, single-patient use. Mechanical fixation device.

Indications for Use

Indicated for orthopedic surgeons requiring bone fixation for fracture management and reconstructive surgeries.

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.

| 4. | Description: | The Latarjet Cortical Screw Set consists of an implantable fixation screw<br>which is used for fixation of bone grafts or bone fragments to cortical bone in<br>shoulder surgeries. The fixation screws are offered in the following overall<br>lengths: 36mm - 42mm. (features- other than the overall length- are<br>identical on all). The set also includes a threaded bushing which attaches to<br>the proximal end of the fixation screw. Its purpose is to position the screw<br>firmly and safely during the fixation procedure. The bushing is provided in<br>one size. The fixation screw and bushing are supplied in either in Titanium<br>alloy or Stainless Steel. The Latarjet Cortical Screw Set is supplied non-<br>sterile, for single patient use. | |
| 5. | Intended Use: | The Latarjet Cortical Screw Set is intended to provide the orthopedic<br>surgeon a means of bone fixation and to assist in the management of<br>fractures and reconstructive surgeries. | |
| 6. | Comparison of<br>Technological<br>Characteristics: | With respect to its indication for use, the Latarjet Cortical Screw Set is<br>substantially equivalent to its predicate device in that it intended for the<br>same clinical purpose. With respect to technology, the design is similar as<br>confirmed by comparison, and the performance is the same as verified by<br>validation. Based upon this, T.A.G. Medical Products believes that its device<br>is safe and effective because it performs the same function in the same<br>manner. | |
