Indications for Use

As part of the Synthes Trochanteric Fixation Nail (TFN) System, the Synthes TFN Screw is intended to treat stable and unstable fractures of the proximal femur including pertrochanteric fractures, intertrochanteric fractures, basal neck fractures, and combinations thereof. The Long TFN is additionally indicated for subtrochanteric fractures, pertrochanteric fractures associated with shaft fractures, pathologic fractures (including prophylactic use) in both trochanteric and diaphyseal regions, long subtrochanteric fractures, proximal or distal non-unions, malunions, and revisions.

Device Story

Synthes TFN Screw is a threaded titanium alloy component; functions as part of the Synthes Trochanteric Fixation Nail (TFN) System. Used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical settings to provide stabilization for proximal femur fractures. The screw is implanted during surgical procedures to fixate bone fragments; facilitates fracture healing and patient recovery. Device design and material properties are consistent with existing intramedullary fixation systems.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence is based on design, material, and intended use similarities to legally marketed predicate devices.

Technological Characteristics

Threaded screw component; material: titanium alloy; intended for use with intramedullary fixation rods (21 CFR 888.3020).

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients with stable or unstable proximal femur fractures, including pertrochanteric, intertrochanteric, basal neck, subtrochanteric, and shaft-associated fractures. Also indicated for pathologic fractures, non-unions, malunions, and revisions in trochanteric and diaphyseal regions.

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.
