## Indications for Use

The Orthofix Contours Proximal Humeral Plate (PHP) is intended for fractures, osteotomies and non-unions of the proximal humerus, particularly in osteopenic bone.

## Device Story

The Orthofix Contours Proximal Humeral Plate (PHP) is a locking titanium bone plate system designed for surgical fixation of proximal humeral fractures, osteotomies, and non-unions. The system comprises left and right-sided plates used with diaphyseal screws, a main locking screw, and fine-threaded titanium screws; titanium or polymeric cerclage wires may provide additional stabilization. The device is intended for use by orthopedic surgeons in a clinical/surgical setting. It functions as a mechanical fixation appliance to stabilize bone fragments, facilitating healing. Modifications from the predicate include dimensional changes to plate width, central height, fixation point diameters, and screw lengths, as well as a transition to a sterile-sold configuration with updated packaging. The device provides mechanical support to bone, particularly beneficial in osteopenic bone, to restore structural integrity.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Mechanical strength testing was performed in accordance with ASTM F384-06 and ASTM F382-99 to demonstrate equivalence to the predicate device.

## Technological Characteristics

Titanium locking bone plate system. Includes diaphyseal screws, main locking screw, and fine-threaded hexagonal screws. Materials are metallic (titanium) with optional polymeric cerclage wires. Mechanical testing conducted per ASTM F384-06 and ASTM F382-99. Sold sterile.

## Regulatory 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.

## Predicate Devices

- Orthofix Titanium Humeral Plating System, "LSP" ([K062920](/device/K062920.md))

### 5. Description:

This Special 510(k) is being supplied to the U.S. FDA to provide authorization to market the device Orthofix Contours Proximal Humeral Plate (PHP) for interstate commerce. The Orthofix Contours Proximal Humeral Plate (PHP) is a modified version of the Orthofix Titanium Humeral Plating System "LSP", cleared under 510(k) K062920.

Like the predicate device, the Orthofix Contours Proximal Humeral Plate (PHP) is a locking titanium plate intended for the treatment of fractures. osteotomies and non-unions of the proximal humerus.

The Orthofix Contours Proximal Humeral Plate (PHP) consists of a left and a right plate that has to be used in combination with at least two Diaphyseal Screws, a main locking screw and at least two titanium hexagonal Fine Threaded Screws. In addition titanium/polymeric cerclage wires can be used to achieve further stabilization of the bone fragments.

Instrumentation is available for the insertion of the plates and screws.

The modifications introduced with the Orthofix Contours Proximal Humeral Plate (PHP) are summarized below:

- Dimensional changes, concerning width and central part height of the plate, diameter of some fixation points and lengths of the revision screws.
- Sterilization configuration: Orthofix Contours Proximal Humeral Plate (PHP) will be sold in a sterile configuration while the predicate device, Orthofix Titanium Humeral Plating System "LSP" is sold in a non-sterile configuration.
- Packaging configuration: as the Orthofix Contours Proximal Humeral Plate (PHP) will be sold in a sterile configuration, the packaging will be modified with respect to the predicate device.

#### 6. Substantial equivalence:

Documentation is provided which demonstrates the Orthofix Contours Proximal Humeral Plate (PHP) to be substantially equivalent to other legally marketed devices. The Orthofix Contours Proximal Humeral Plate (PHP) and the predicate device Orthofix Titanium Humeral Plating System "LSP" are bone plates as defined in 21 CFR 888.3030, furthermore, the size, shape and materials for the subject devices are comparable to the predicate devices.
