System comprises metallic frame components; connects to commercially available fixation pins and Kirschner wires. Operated by surgeons in clinical/OR settings. Provides mechanical stabilization for bone segments; allows for compression, distraction, or deformity correction. Benefits patients by providing rigid support for healing when internal fixation is contraindicated due to soft tissue status. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data; substantial equivalence supported by mechanical performance testing. ## Technological Characteristics Metallic bone fixation components; modular external frame system. Designed for use with standard fixation pins and Kirschner wires. Materials and design consistent with existing Hoffmann II product line. ## 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. ## Reference Devices - Hoffmann® II External Fixation System - Hoffmann® II Compact™ External Fixation System - Hoffmann® II Hybrid Frame System - Monotube Triax™ External Fixation System ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).
