Intended Use

Low subtrochanteric fractures Pseudarthrosis and corrective osteotomies Transverse fractures Pathologic fractures, impending pathologic fractures, and tumor resections. Oblique and spiral fractures Supracondylar fractures, including those with intra-articular extension Segmental fractures Ipsilateral femoral neck fractures Comminuted fractures Fractures proximal to total knee arthoplasty Fractures with bone loss Fractures distal to a hip implant Nonunions and malunions. Acute bone lengthening and shortening Reamed and unreamed applications High Supracondylar fractures, including those with intra-articular extension.

Device Story

APEX Intramedullary Nail System consists of cannulated, cylindrical titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) rods for internal fixation of tibia or femur fractures. Rods feature proximal and distal holes for locking screws; end caps prevent bone ingrowth. Used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical/OR settings to stabilize bone fractures, nonunions, or osteotomies. Device provides mechanical support to bone segments, facilitating healing and alignment. Benefits include stabilization of complex fractures and support for bone reconstruction.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only.

Technological Characteristics

Materials: Titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V). Design: Cannulated, cylindrical rods with proximal/distal locking screw holes. Accessories: End caps. Energy source: None (mechanical). Connectivity: None. Sterilization: Not specified.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients with femoral or tibial fractures, including subtrochanteric, supracondylar, transverse, oblique, spiral, segmental, comminuted, pathologic, and ipsilateral femoral neck fractures; also indicated for pseudarthrosis, corrective osteotomies, nonunions, malunions, bone loss, and acute bone lengthening/shortening.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

An intramedullary fixation rod is a device intended to be implanted that consists of a rod made of alloys such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum and stainless steel. It is inserted into the medullary (bone marrow) canal of long bones for the fixation of fractures.

The APEX Intramedullary Nail System is similar to the listed predicate device in design, function, materials used, and indications for use. #### Device Description The APEX Intramedullary Nail System consists of intramedullary rods for fixation inside the canal of the tibia or femur. All the rods are cannulated and cylindrical in shape. The rods are available in a variety of diameters and lengths and have holes located the proximal and distal ends for fixation to bone by means of locking screws. An end cap is available. It screws into the threaded end of the nails to prevent bone ingrowth, which may hamper attachment of the extraction instrumentation. All components of the APEX Intramedullary Nail System are manufactured from titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V). > Magly Orthopedics, LLC APEX Intramedullary Nail System 23 {1}------------------------------------------------ # DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES Image /page/1/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
