Overview
AI-generated summary, 19 Sep 2026
The Osteo Compression Hip Screw System is a proximal femoral fracture fixation device classified as a Hip Screw System (Product Code: HWC). It consists of compression hip screw plates, lag screws, and a compression screw designed to stabilize intertrochanteric femoral fractures and intracapsular femoral neck fractures through internal fixation. The system is engineered to engage the femoral head while minimizing soft tissue irritation, facilitating optimal bone fragment impaction.
This device is supplied as a sterile, single-use system and is intended for orthopedic surgical use under sterile conditions. It is cleared for use in the United States via FDA 510(k) clearance (K971654) under the Orthopedic (OR) Advisory Committee. The system is not MRI-safe and must be handled and stored according to manufacturer instructions to maintain sterility and functionality.

Questions
AI-generated answers, 19 Sep 2026
What types of fractures is this system specifically designed to stabilize, and how does it work to achieve stability?
The Osteo Compression Hip Screw System is designed to stabilize intertrochanteric femoral fractures and intracapsular femoral neck fractures. It achieves stability through a combination of a compression hip screw plate, lag screws, and a compression screw. The system is engineered to engage the femoral head while minimizing soft tissue irritation, allowing for optimal bone fragment impaction and secure fixation.
Is this device reusable, or is it intended for single-use only? How should it be stored to maintain sterility?
The Osteo Compression Hip Screw System is sterile and intended for single-use only. To maintain sterility and functionality, it must be handled and stored strictly according to the manufacturer’s instructions, as outlined in the provided documentation.
What regulatory pathway was followed for FDA clearance, and which advisory committee reviewed this submission?
This device received FDA 510(k) clearance (K971654) under the Traditional clearance type, determined to be substantially equivalent to a predicate device. The submission was reviewed by the Orthopedic (OR) Advisory Committee, which categorizes submissions under the Hip Screw System (Product Code: HWC) classification.
Can this device be used in an MRI environment, or are there any special handling considerations?
The Osteo Compression Hip Screw System is not MRI-safe. This means it should not be used in an MRI environment, as the magnetic fields could cause interference or harm. Always follow manufacturer guidelines for safe handling and disposal.
What surgical context is this device intended for, and why is minimizing soft tissue irritation important?
This system is intended for orthopedic surgical use under sterile conditions to fix proximal femoral fractures. Minimizing soft tissue irritation is critical because it reduces postoperative complications, such as wound healing issues or infection, while ensuring the device remains securely positioned for optimal bone healing.
