## Intended Use

Intended to treat stable and unstable intertrochanteric, subtrochanteric and basilar neck fractures in which a stable medial buttress can be reconstructed.

## Device Story

Synthes LCP Dynamic Helical Hip System is a metallic bone fixation device; consists of a straight plate with an angled barrel accepting a helical blade. Plates feature grooved undersurface, combination locking, and dynamic compression holes. Sideplate holes accept 5.0 mm locking screws and 4.5 mm cortex screws. Used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical settings to stabilize hip fractures. Device provides mechanical fixation to support bone healing; surgeon selects appropriate plate length and barrel angle based on fracture anatomy. Benefits include stable fracture fixation and reconstruction of medial buttress.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence is based on bench testing and design comparison.

## Technological Characteristics

Material: Stainless steel. Components: Straight plate with angled barrel, helical blade, 5.0 mm locking screws, 4.5 mm cortex screws. Features: Grooved undersurface, combination locking and dynamic compression holes. Mechanical fixation device.

## Regulatory Identification

Single/multiple component metallic bone fixation appliances and accessories are devices intended to be implanted consisting of one or more metallic components and their metallic fasteners. The devices contain a plate, a nail/plate combination, or a blade/plate combination that are made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, stainless steel, and titanium, that are intended to be held in position with fasteners, such as screws and nails, or bolts, nuts, and washers. These devices are used for fixation of fractures of the proximal or distal end of long bones, such as intracapsular, intertrochanteric, intercervical, supracondylar, or condylar fractures of the femur; for fusion of a joint; or for surgical procedures that involve cutting a bone. The devices may be implanted or attached through the skin so that a pulling force (traction) may be applied to the skeletal system.
