This submission adds helical blades ranging from 135 mm to 150 mm to the existing system. The device is used by surgeons in a clinical/OR setting to stabilize hip fractures. The helical blade is inserted into the bone to provide fixation, facilitating fracture healing. The system is designed for use in cases where a stable medial buttress can be reconstructed. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence is based on design and technological similarities to the predicate device. ## Technological Characteristics Metallic bone fixation system composed of stainless steel. Consists of a straight plate with an angled barrel and helical blades. Dimensions for added blades range from 135 mm to 150 mm. 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. ## Predicate Devices - Synthes LCP® Dynamic Helical Hip System ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).
