Intended Use

The AperFix® Femoral Implant with Inserter is intended for use in tenodesis procedures with soft tissue grafts, utilizing either arthroscopic or open techniques during Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL), Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL), Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL), Lateral Collateral Ligament (LCL), and Medial Patellofemoral Ligament (MPFL) reconstruction.

Device Story

AperFix Femoral Implant is a non-absorbable internal fixation device for tendon-to-bone attachment. Device consists of body, wedge, two deployable arms, and compression pads; pre-loaded on sterile inserter. Used by surgeons in OR during ligament reconstruction (ACL, PCL, MCL, LCL, MPFL). Implant provides mechanical fixation of soft tissue grafts to bone. Single-use device. Benefits include secure graft fixation during healing. Mechanical testing demonstrates superior pull-out strength compared to predicate.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Mechanical testing performed to evaluate pull-out strength; results showed pull-out strength is significantly higher than that of a predicate device.

Technological Characteristics

Non-absorbable internal fixation device. Components: body, wedge, two deployable arms, compression pads. Diameters: 9, 10, 11 mm; lengths: 29, 35 mm. Sterilization: Co gamma irradiation (25-40 kGy). Single-use. Mechanical fixation principle.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients undergoing tenodesis procedures with soft tissue grafts for ACL, PCL, MCL, LCL, or MPFL reconstruction via arthroscopic or open surgical techniques.

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.
