Ortho Solutions K-Wires, Steinman Pins, Guide Pins, Fixation Pins and Rush Pins are indicated for use in fixation of bone fractures, for bone reconstruction, for skeletal traction in alignment of long bone fractured segments, and as guide pins & wires for insertion of implants. Ortho Solutions Cerclage Wire is indicated for use for bone fracture fixation, osteotomy, arthrodesis, correction of deformity, revision procedures where other treatments or devices have been unsuccessful, and bone reconstruction procedures. Ortho Solutions Cannulated Bone Screws and Washers are indicated for use over a guide pin or wire for aligned bone fracture fixation and bone fragment fixation. Washers of matching size to the cannulated bone screw may be used in certain applications. Cannulated bone screw sizes (with optional washer) of 4.0mm, 4.5mm, 5.0mm. 6.5mm and 8.0mm are to be used with large and long bones in the skeletal anatomy. Specific indications, which are dependent in part on the diameter of the screw include: Minimally invasive fracture/joint reconstructions; Additive osteosynthesis for complex joint fractures; Multiple-fragment joint fractures; Femoral neck and femoral head fractures; Femoral supracondylar fractures; Tibial plateau fractures; Fractures of the head of the humerus & tibia; Cooper fractures of the tibia; Fractures of radius, wrist, ankle, elbow, and shoulder; Ligament fixation of the proximal humerus; Fractures of the acetabulum and dorsal pelvic ring; Condylar fractures; Ligament avulsion injuries; Malleolar and navicular fractures; Fractures of the calcaneus and talus; Arthrodesis of the ankle joint; and Avulsion fractures. The Ortho Solutions Trauma Implants for Osteosynthesis System is not intended for spinal use. ## Device Story System comprises metallic trauma implants: K-wires, Steinman pins, guide pins, fixation pins, Rush pins, cerclage wire, and cannulated bone screws with washers. Used in surgical settings by orthopedic surgeons to stabilize bone fractures and facilitate healing. Pins/wires position and draw bone fragments together; guide pins assist insertion of other implants; cerclage wire wraps around bone; cannulated screws provide fixation over guide wires. Implants are sterile, single-use. Clinical benefit: mechanical stabilization of fractures/osteotomies to promote union. Surgeon selects appropriate implant based on fracture site and bone anatomy. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only; no clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence established through comparison of materials, design, and intended use to legally marketed predicate devices. ## Technological Characteristics Materials: 316LVM Stainless Steel (ASTM F138) and 6-4 Alloyed Titanium (ASTM F136). Components: K-wires, pins, cerclage wire, cannulated screws (4.0-8.0mm), and washers. Sterile, single-use. Mechanical fixation via threaded/smooth pins and screws. ## 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 - K-Wires & Steinman Pins - Synvasive Technology ([K961522](/device/K961522.md)) - K-Wires & Steinman Pins - DePuy ([K960385](/device/K960385.md)) - Pins - Treu-Instrumente ([K083912](/device/K083912.md)) - Orthopedic Wire - Howmedica Osteonics ([K031127](/device/K031127.md)) - K-Wire - BioPro, Inc.

These devices are also offered in various point configurations on one or both ends and can be partially threaded, fully threaded, smooth, or calibrated. K-Wires, Steinman Pins and Rush Pins_position and draw fractured bone together to facilitate healing. Guide Pins are used to guide other implant devices into a fractured bone site area. External Fixation Pins are driven through the skin into bone and provide position and traction of fractured bone to allow bone healing. Cerclage Wire is soft to allow a 'wrap around' of fractured bones and draw fractured bone together to facilitate healing. All K-Wires, Steinman Pins, Guide Pins, Fixation Pins, Rush Pins and Cerclage Wires are made of surgical grade 316LVM Stainless Steel to ASTM F138 and/or 6-4 Alloyed Titanium to ASTM F136. All K-Wires, Steinman Pins, Guide Pins, Fixation Pins, Rush Pins and Cerclage Wires are offered 'Sterile' to the customer. 2. Cannulated Bone Screws & Washers: These implant devices consist of various length cannulated cortical and cancellous screws in a 4.0mm, 4.5mm, 5.0mm, 6.5mm, and 8.0mm thread diameter size in a full, partial, reverse-cutting, and self-tapping configurations. Washers of various sizes are matched to each screw type. Associated guide pin, drills, and ancillary instrumentation is available. The cannulated screws are intended for use over a guide pin or wire for bone fracture and bone fragment fixation. All cannulated screws and washers are manufactured from high strength 6-4 Alloyed Titanium to ASTM F136. All cannulated screws and washers are offered 'sterile' to the customer.
