Intended Use
The Additive Orthopaedics Bunion System is indication and fusion of fractures, ostotomies and arthrodesis of small bones such as the foot and ankle.
Device Story
Additive Orthopaedics Bunion System consists of titanium alloy (Ti-6AL-4V ELI) plates and locking/non-locking screws; includes surgical site preparation and insertion instruments. Used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical settings for bone fixation following bunion correction osteotomies. Plates are additively manufactured; provided sterile for single-use. Device provides mechanical stabilization of bone segments to facilitate fusion and healing. Clinical benefit derived from maintaining alignment and stability of small bones during the post-operative recovery period.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Mechanical testing included 4-point bending (static and dynamic) per ASTM F382, and static driving torque, removal torque, and static axial pullout per ASTM F543. Engineering analysis was performed to compare insertion/removal torque, torsional strength, pull-out strength, and bending strength against predicate devices.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: Medical grade titanium alloy (Ti-6AL-4V ELI). Manufacturing: Additive manufacturing. Components: Plates and locking/non-locking screws. Standards: ASTM F382 (bending), ASTM F543 (screws). Sterilization: Provided sterile. Connectivity: None.
Indications for Use
Indicated for alignment, stabilization, and fusion of fractures, osteotomies, and arthrodesis of small bones in the foot and ankle.
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.

# Description
The Additive Orthopaedics Bunion System consists of a plate and screws (both locking and nonlocking) with surgical site preparation and insertion instruments. The devices is intended to be used for fixation following an osteotomy in bunion correction procedures. The plates are additively manufactured from medical grade titanium alloy (Ti-6AL-4V Eli). The screws are manufactured from medical grade titanium alloy. (Ti-6AL-4V). The implants are provided sterile and intended for single use only. The bunion plate comes in 1 individual size and the screws come in 4 lengths.
## Indications for Use
The Additive Orthopaedics Bunion System is indicated for alignment, stabilization and fusion of fractures, osteotomies and arthrodesis of small bones such as the foot and ankle.
## (a) (6) Technological Characteristics Comparison
The Additive Orthopaedics Bunion System and the legally marketed predicated devices have similar indications, dimensions, geometry, materials and manufacturing process. The Additive Orthopaedics Bunion System is technologically substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
## (b) (1) Substantial Equivalence- Non-Clinical Evidence
Mechanical testing including 4 point bending (static and dynamic) per ASTM F382 for the predicate and subject device. Also included were static driving torque and removal torque, and static axial pullout per F543 for the subject device. In addition to the mechanical testing of the screws, an engineering analysis was performed for the subject device to show substantial equivalency with respect to insertion/removal torque, torsional strength, pull-out strength and bending strength. The results of these verification activities demonstrate that the Additive Orthopaedics Bunion System is substantially equivalent to the predicate device identified.
## (b) (3) Substantial Equivalence - Conclusions
The Additive Orthopaedics Bunion System possesses the same technologic characteristics of the predicate devices. These characteristics include the intended use, basic design, material, manufacturing process, size and fundamental technology. The design characteristics of the subject system do not raise any different questions of safety and effectiveness. From the evidence submitted in this 510(k), the subject devices can be expected to perform at least as well as the predicate device.
