Intended Use

Variable Angle technology in MTP, TMT, MFT, MXL, DFX, and EDL plates are indicated for fractures, fusions and osteotomies for small bones in the hand, wrist, foot and ankle in both pediatric and adult patients. Variable Angle Technology in MXL and CLA plates are indicated for the fractures, fusions, and osteotomies of the clavicle and small bones in the hand, wrist, foot and ankle.

Device Story

Bone fixation system modification adding variable angle locking capability to existing plating systems. Consists of polymer ring mating with locking plate and specialized locking screw. Allows screw insertion at angles up to 15° in any direction while maintaining angular stability. Used by surgeons in clinical settings for orthopedic procedures. Provides stable fixation for small bone fractures, fusions, and osteotomies.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Dynamic and static mechanical testing performed to confirm substantial equivalence to predicate devices.

Technological Characteristics

Metallic bone fixation plates with integrated polymer ring for variable angle locking. Allows 15° angular adjustment. Compatible with existing OrthoHelix plate systems.

Indications for Use

Indicated for fractures, fusions, and osteotomies of small bones in hand, wrist, foot, and ankle, and clavicle. Applicable to both pediatric and adult patients.

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.

Predicate Devices

• OrthoHelix Modular Foot System (K073624)
• Clavicle Plating System (K090289)
• Stryker VariAx System (K060613)

#### Device Description

This special 510(K) submission is a modification to the previously cleared Modular Foot and Clavicle systems to add a variable angle locking screw construct. No changes have been made to the current locking plates; this addition will be compatible with all plates currently in the system. The OrthoHelix variable angle construct consists of a polymer ring which mates with the locking plate and allows for a specially designed locking screw to be inserted at angles up to 15° in any direction while maintaining angular stability.

#### Intended Use

Variable Angle technology in MTP, TMT, MFT, MXL, DFX, and EDL plates are indicated for fractures, fusions and osteotomies for small bones in the hand, wrist, foot and ankle in both pediatric and adult patients.

Variable Angle Technology in MXL and CLA plates are indicated for the fractures, fusions, and osteotomies of the clavicle and small bones in the hand, wrist, foot and ankle.

#### Substantial Equivalence

The MaxLock Extreme® Extremity Plating System with Variable Angle Technology is substantially equivalent to currently marketed devices, the OrthoHelix Modular Foot System (K073624) and Clavicle Plating System (K090289) and the Stryker VariAx System (K060613). The new technology is a modification to the OrthoHelix Modular Foot System, K073624 and Clavicle Plating System, K090289. The new technology only differs from the predicate devices with inclusion of a polymer locking ring and a specially designed locking screw to facilitate a variable angle locking mechanism.

Dynamic and static mechanical testing confirm that the MaxLock Extreme® implants with Variable Angle Technology are substantially equivalent to their predicate and meet the specified requirements for their intended use. No new issues of safety and efficacy have been raised during the development of this system.

Dear Mr. Lewis:

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 (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 date of the Medical Device 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 application (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.
