The ORTHOLOC™ 3Di Hallux System is intended for use in stabilization and fixation of fresh fractures, revision procedures, joint fusion, and reconstruction of bones of the feet and toes. Specific examples include: First metatarsal osteotomies for hallux valgus correction including: Opening base wedge osteotomy; Closing base wedge osteotomy; Crescentic osteotomy; Proximal Chevron osteotomy; Distal Chevron osteotomy (Austin); First metatarsal fracture fixation; Arthrodesis of the first metatarsalcuneiform joint (Lapidus Fusion); Arthrodesis of the first metatarsophalangeal joint (MTP) including: Primary MTP Fusion due to hallux ridgidus and/or hallux valgus; Revision MTP Fusion; Revision of failed first MTP Arthroplasty implant.
Device Story
ORTHOLOC™ 3Di Hallux System comprises titanium alloy bone plates and screws for orthopedic fixation in feet and toes; used by surgeons for fracture stabilization, osteotomies, and joint fusions. Plates feature polyaxial locking holes allowing 15° off-axis screw placement; designed to provide rigid fixation. System includes 33 plate variants contoured for specific anatomy. Surgeons select appropriate plate/screw configuration based on procedure; implants are surgically implanted to stabilize bone segments, promoting healing and structural reconstruction. Benefits include improved mechanical stability via polyaxial locking mechanism and high-strength titanium alloy construction.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided. Safety and effectiveness supported by bench testing, including mechanical torque testing, locking mechanism evaluation, and finite element analysis (FEA) for bending strength.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: Titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V) conforming to ASTM F136/ISO 5832-3. Features: Polyaxial locking screw holes (up to 15° off-axis), k-wire holes, and non-locking compression slots. Dimensions: Designed for foot/toe anatomy. Energy source: None (mechanical). Sterilization: Not specified.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring stabilization, fixation, or reconstruction of foot and toe bones, specifically for hallux valgus correction, first metatarsal fractures, Lapidus fusion, and first MTP joint arthrodesis (primary or revision).
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.

#### 510(K) SUMMARY OF SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS
# MAY - 3 2012
In accordance with the Food and Drug Administration Rule to implement provisions of the Safe Medical Devices Act of 1990 and in conformance with 21 CFR 807.92. this information serves as a Summary of Safety and Effectiveness for the ORTHOLOC™ 3Di Hallux System.

| Common Name: | Bone Plate System |
| Classification Name and Reference: | 21 CFR 888.3030 - Class II |

| (a)(3). Predicate Device: | K061808 - DARCO Locking Bone Plate<br>System |
#### (a)(4). Device Description
Wright Medical's ORTHOLOC™ 3Di Hallux System is intended for use in stabilization of fresh fractures, revision procedures, joint fusion and reconstruction of bones of the feet and The subject plates are modified from the DARCO Locking Bone Plate System toes. (K061808). The system contains 33 plates belonging to 1 of 4 plate styles with various sizes and options, each contoured for specific anatomy and designed for specific procedures. All plates feature polyaxial locking screw holes and k-wire holes, and some plates have nonlocking compression slots. The plates are made from titanium alloy conforming to ASTM F136 or ISO 5832-3 and accept 2.7 mm and 3.5 mm locking and non-locking screws.
#### (a)(5). Intended Use
The ORTHOLOC™ 3Di Hallux System is intended for use in stabilization and fixation of fresh fractures, revision procedures, joint fusion, and reconstruction of bones of the feet and toes. Specific examples include:
- First metatarsal osteotomies for hallux valgus correction including: .
- Opening base wedge osteotomy .
- Closing base wedge osteotomy .
- Crescentic osteotomy .
- . Proximal Chevron osteotomy
- Distal Chevron osteotomy (Austin) .
- First metatarsal fracture fixation .
{1}------------------------------------------------
- Arthrodesis of the first metatarsalcuneiform joint (Lapidus Fusion) .
- Arthrodesis of the first metatarsophalangeal joint (MTP) including: .
- Primary MTP Fusion due to hallux ridgidus and/or hallux valgus .
- Revision MTP Fusion .
- Revision of failed first MTP Arthroplasty implant .
The indications statement has been tailored to the intended use of the subject device, which has fewer plates than the predicate system. The bones of the hand, wrist, ankles, and fingers included in the predicate indications statement are omitted from the indications for this system, because this system includes only plates designed for hallux procedures. The indications statement has also been modified to include specific procedures for which the system is designed. The addition of these specific examples of osteotomies and arthrodeses does not alter the intended therapeutic effect of the subject device. These specific procedures have been evaluated for safety and effectiveness through a clinical literature review.
#### (a)(6). Technological Characteristics Comparison
While many of the technological characteristics are the same for the subject device system and the predicate, some design changes have been made. The subject plates have a new polyaxial locking feature that offers locking up to 15° off-axis. The subject's locking feature is similar to the locking feature for ORTHOLOC"™ 3Di Ankle Plating System (K102429), but has been modified for the thinner plates of this system. The subject BOW and 18 Metatarsal plates are made from titanium alloy (TigAlaV), while the corresponding predicate plates are commercially pure titanium. The titanium alloy is a stronger material.
#### (b)(1). Substantial Equivalence - Non-Clinical Evidence
Performance testing supports the effectiveness of the new locking feature and the new screw and shows that no new worst-case plates (in bending) are introduced in this system. The subject plate locking mechanism evaluated in this testing was found to be acceptable for offaxis mechanical screw locking up to three times as compared to a non-locking screw. Torque testing was performed on the subject 2.7 mm non-locking screw and results exceeded the minimum safety factor. Through mechanically validated FEA analysis, the worst-case subject ORTHOLOC™ 3Di plates were found not to represent a new worst-case in bending for any of the four plate families evaluated.
#### (b)(2). Substantial Equivalence - Clinical Evidence
N/A
#### (b)(3). Substantial Equivalence - Conclusions
The new design characteristics of the subject system do not raise any new types of questions of safety or effectiveness. Performance testing supports the effectiveness of the new locking feature and the new screw and shows that no new worst-case plates (in bending) are introduced in this system. From the evidence submitted in this 510(k) the subject device system can be expected to perform at least as well as the predicate system.
