Device Description
The subject ARTFX Trauma Bone Plate and Screw System is submitted as a bundled submission and consists of four sub-systems: the ARTFX 3.5 System, the ARTFX 4.5 System, the ARTFX Mini-Plate System, and the ARTFX Bone Screw System. The subject system consists of bone plates and screw that are used in the treatment of fractures, fusions, osteotomies, non-unions, malunions, and reconstructive surgeries of the upper extremity (humerus, olecranon, radius, ulna, metacarpals, phalanges), lower extremity (femur, tibia, fibula, tarsals, metatarsals, phalanges), pelvis, and clavicle. After fracture reduction, these devices provide stability and maintain the alignment of bone fragments throughout the healing process. Compression is used whenever possible to increase the contact area and stability between the fragments and reduce stress on the implant. Compression is achieved by using non-locking screws that are placed in compression slots or holes of the plate, allowing for compression of the bone fragments as the screws are tightened. The locking screws do not provide compression, as they are designed to lock into the plate and stabilize the bone fragments through fixed-angle constructs. The special feature of the subject devices is the free choice of screw placement. The user is able to set any desired screw in any hole (either using a locking or non-locking screw). The free choice of screw angulation provides an advantage in fracture treatment, especially in the case of complex fractures.
Generally, the subject plates are designed to the contour of their intended anatomical location and used with cortical, cancellous, non-locking, and cancellous subject screws. The subject bone plates and bone screws are manufactured from Titanium (Ti6Al4V-ELI) per ASTM F136. The subject devices are supplied non-sterile and must be steam-sterilized prior to use.
