Intended Use

The subject S2 Femoral Nail System is a fracture fixation device comprised of femoral nails and the related locking screws, compression screws, end caps, condyle screws and a condyle screw nut. The subject and predicate devices are intended to provide strong and stable internal fracture fixation with minimal soft tissue irritation. This device is utilized as an aid to healing, not as a substitute for normal intact bone and tissue.

Device Story

S2 Femoral Nail System is an orthopedic implant for internal fracture fixation. Line extension adds larger nail diameters, condyle screws, condyle nut, and additional end cap to existing system. Device provides stable fixation to aid bone healing. Used by surgeons in clinical/OR settings. Mechanical properties and materials are identical to predicate. No change in intended use.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only.

Technological Characteristics

Intramedullary fixation rod; materials identical to predicate; mechanical properties verified via bench testing; system includes femoral nails, locking screws, compression screws, end caps, condyle screws, and condyle nuts.

Indications for Use

Indicated for long bone fracture fixation, specifically femoral fractures, including open/closed fractures, pseudoarthrosis, correction osteotomy, pathologic fractures, impending pathologic fractures, tumor resections, supracondylar fractures (with/without intra-articular extension), ipsilateral femur fractures, fractures proximal to total knee arthroplasty, fractures distal to hip joint, nonunions, and malunions.

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 line extension involves offering larger diameters of the nail. In addition, Condyle Screws, a Condyle Nut and an additional End Cap will be added to the system. Howmedica Osteonics intends to add the new components to the current product line, thereby offering additional design options for the surgeon. There is no change in intended use for the subject components when compared to the previously cleared device. ## Intended Use The subject S2 Femoral Nail System is a fracture fixation device comprised of femoral nails and the related locking screws, compression screws, end caps, condyle screws and a condyle screw nut. The subject and predicate devices are intended to provide strong and stable internal fracture fixation with minimal soft tissue irritation. This device is utilized as an aid to healing, not as a substitute for normal intact bone and tissue. ## Statement of Technological Comparison: The material used to manufacture the line extension to the S2 Femoral Nail System is identical to that of the predicate. Mechanical testing demonstrates the comparable mechanical properties of the subject S2 Femoral Nail System to the predicate devices. {1}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/1/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
