Used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical settings to stabilize fractures or osteotomies of the distal humerus. The plates feature a limited contact, low-profile design with locking compression and conical locking holes to accommodate multiple screw types. By providing rigid internal fixation, the system facilitates bone healing and restores structural integrity to the distal humerus. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data provided; bench testing only. ## Technological Characteristics Materials: Stainless steel and titanium. Design: Pre-contoured, limited contact, low-profile plates with locking compression and conical locking holes. Compatibility: Accepts 2.4, 3.5, and 4.0 mm cortex screws; 2.4, 2.7, and 3.5 mm locking screws; and 4.0 mm cancellous screws. ## 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. ## Predicate Devices - Synthes 3.5 mm LCP Reconstruction Plate - Synthes 2.4 mm Cortex Screw, self-tapping ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

postero-lateral distal humerus plates of various lengths and 2.7 mm locking
screws. The plates are pre-contoured to match the anatomy of the distal
humerus with a limited contact low profile design. The plate features
locking compression holes and conical locking holes which accept 2.4, 3.5,
& 4.0 mm cortex screws, 2.4, 2.7 & 3.5 mm locking screws, and 4.0 mm
cancellous screws. The System will be available in Stainless Steel and
Titanium. | | INTENDED USE: | The Synthes 3.5 mm LCP Distal Humerus System is indicated for
intraarticular fractures of the distal humerus, comminuted supracondylar
fractures, osteotomies, and non-unions of the distal humerus. | | SUBSTANTIAL

The product code was incorrectly listed as KTI. The correct product adde is listed above. We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent if(for the indications for use stated in the enclosure)] to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment data of the Medical Device in Amendments or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.
