Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction 2. Medial collateral ligament repair 3. Lateral collateral ligament repair 4. Posterior oblique ligament repair 5. Iliotibial band tenodesis reconstruction 6. Patellar ligament and tendon repair This device is also intended to be used as back-up fixation in ACL reconstruction in conjunction with other marketed devices in order to provide additional fixation strength in instances of questionable bone quality. ## Device Story Nonresorbable CentraLoc™ Tibial Screw and Washer system designed for soft tissue-to-bone fixation; used in orthopedic ligament repair and reconstruction procedures. Device provides mechanical fixation; serves as primary or back-up fixation in ACL reconstruction to enhance strength in poor bone quality. Operated by surgeons in clinical/OR settings. Mechanical design is similar to predicate resorbable devices; nonresorbable material composition provides intended fixation stability. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data. Substantial equivalence determined based on mechanical bench testing. ## Technological Characteristics Nonresorbable metallic bone fixation fastener. Mechanical design similar to resorbable predicate devices. Class II device (21 CFR 888.3040). ## 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 - LactoSorb® Tibial L-15 Screw and Washer – Arthrotek Inc.
