The Indications for Use are: Fixation of tendons and ligaments during orthopedic reconstruction procedures such as Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Reconstruction. ## Device Story Femoral Hook is a soft tissue anchor for orthopedic reconstruction; consists of body with eyelet for graft attachment and arm for cortical bone anchoring. Used by surgeons in orthopedic procedures; facilitates fixation of tendons and ligaments to bone. Device provides mechanical stability for soft tissue grafts during healing. No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence based on mechanical pull-out strength testing compared to predicate. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence supported by bench testing showing greater pull-out strength than predicate. ## Technological Characteristics Titanium alloy construction; mechanical fixation device consisting of body with eyelet and anchoring arm. Non-degradable. ## Regulatory Identification A smooth or threaded metallic bone fixation fastener is a device intended to be implanted that consists of a stiff wire segment or rod made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum and stainless steel, and that may be smooth on the outside, fully or partially threaded, straight or U-shaped; and may be either blunt pointed, sharp pointed, or have a formed, slotted head on the end. It may be used for fixation of bone fractures, for bone reconstructions, as a guide pin for insertion of other implants, or it may be implanted through the skin so that a pulling force (traction) may be applied to the skeletal system. ## Predicate Devices - Titanium Toggle Button ([K033838](/device/K033838.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).
