Intended Use

The Distal Radius Plate System is intended for internal fixation for fractures and reconstruction of the small bones, primarily including the distal radius and distal ulna. Examples of these internal fixations and reconstructions include compression fractures, intra-articular and extra-articular fractures, displaced fractures, osteotomies, non-unions and malunions. This system can be used for palmar, dorsal or orthogonal application. The Arthrex Low Profile Screws (2.0-2.4mm solid) are intended to be used as stand-alone bone screws, or in a plate-screw system for internal bone fixation for bone fractures, fusions, osteotomies and non-unions in the ankle, foot, hand, and wrist. When used with a plate, the screw may be used with the Arthrex Low Profile, Small Fragment Plates, Distal Extremity Plates, and Distal Radius Plates. The Arthrex Low Profile Screws (2.0-3.0mm cannulated) are intended to be used as stand-alone bone screws for internal bone fixation for bone fractures, fusions, osteotomies and non-unions in the ankle, foot, hand, and wrist. The Arthrex Low Profile Screws (2.7mm and larger, solid) are intended to be used as stand-alone bone screws, or in a plate-screw system for internal bone fixation for bone fractures, fusions, osteotomies and non-unions in the ankle, foot, hand, wrist, clavicle, scapula, olecranon, humerus, radius, ulna, tibia, calcaneous, femur and fibula. When used with a plate, the screws may be used with the Arthrex Low Profile, Small Fragment Plates, Fracture Plates, Distal Extremity Plates, Distal Radius Plates, Humeral Fracture Plates, and Osteotomy Plates. The Arthrex Low Profile Screws (3.5mm and larger, cannulated) are intended to be used as stand-alone bone screws for internal bone fixation for bone fractures, fusions, osteotomies and non-unions in the ankle, foot, hand, wrist, clavicle, scapula, olecranon, humerus, radius, ulna, tibia, calcaneous, femur and fibula.

Device Story

System comprises titanium plates and screws for internal bone fixation; used for fractures, osteotomies, and non-unions. Plates available in various dimensions; screws provided in solid or cannulated configurations. Device used in clinical settings by orthopedic surgeons to stabilize bone segments; facilitates healing through rigid fixation. Mechanical performance validated via bench testing (bending/fatigue strength).

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only; no clinical data provided. Mechanical testing demonstrated bending and fatigue strength comparable to predicate devices.

Technological Characteristics

Titanium bone fixation plates and screws; solid and cannulated screw options; various dimensions. Mechanical fixation via screw-plate interface. No software or electronic components.

Indications for Use

Indicated for internal fixation and reconstruction of small bone fractures (distal radius/ulna) and various skeletal fractures/fusions/osteotomies/non-unions in the ankle, foot, hand, wrist, clavicle, scapula, olecranon, humerus, radius, ulna, tibia, calcaneous, femur, and fibula.

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

• aap Radius Set (K123875)
• Low Profile Screws (K103705 / 111253)

Dear Ms. Smith:

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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you; however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
