Plate, Bone, Growth Control, Pediatric, Epiphysiodesis

Page Type
Product Code
Definition
Intended to redirect the angle of growth of long bone(s) only in pediatric patients. Indicated for temporary or permanent epiphysiodesis. For gradually correcting angular deformities of long bones in pediatric patients with an open physis. Specific conditions/diseases for which the device will be indicated include valgus, varus, or flexion extension deformities of the knee (femur and/or tibia); valgus, varus or plantar flexion deformities of the ankle, valgus or varus deformities of the elbow, as well as radial or ulnar deviation, flexion or extension deformities of the wrist (radius). The device may be removed when growth has equalized or the growth plate has fused.

CFR § 888.3030 Single/multiple component metallic bone fixation appliances and accessories

§ 888.3030 Single/multiple component metallic bone fixation appliances and accessories.

(a) 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.

(b) Classification. Class II.
