Intended Use

The Smith & Nephew Locking Bone Plate System is used for adult and pediatric patients as indicated for pelvic, small, and long bone fracture fixations for use include fractures of the tibia, fibula, femoral condyle, pelvis, acetabulum, metacarpals, metatarsals, humerus, ulna, middle hand and middle foot bones (particularly in osteopenic bone); treatment of the calcaneal; hip arthrodesis, and provisional hole fixation.

Device Story

System consists of stainless steel contoured/straight bone plates and locking/compression screws. Implants feature screw-to-plate locking mechanism creating fixed-angle constructs to stabilize fracture reduction. Used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical settings for bone fixation. Benefits include enhanced stability in osteopenic bone. Components are single-use.

Technological Characteristics

Stainless steel bone plates and screws; screw-to-plate locking mechanism for fixed-angle construct; single-use; mechanical fixation.

Indications for Use

Indicated for adult and pediatric patients requiring fixation of pelvic, small, and long bone fractures, including tibia, fibula, femoral condyle, pelvis, acetabulum, metacarpals, metatarsals, humerus, ulna, middle hand, and middle foot bones (especially in osteopenic bone), calcaneal treatment, hip arthrodesis, and provisional hole fixation.

Regulatory Classification

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.
