GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Paragon 28® Phantom® Small Bone Intramedullary System is comprised of small bone intramedullary nails, locking screws and threaded pegs. The Phantom® Nails are offered in a variety of lengths to accommodate variations in patient anatomy. The Phantom® threaded pegs and locking screws insert through the intramedullary nail to secure the construct. These are offered in varying lengths to accommodate the anatomical fixation required. The system instruments include sphere wires, K-wires, combination tissue protector/drill guide/obturator, drill guides, drill bits, polyaxial targeting guides, outriggers, outrigger sliders, depth gauges, screw drivers and driver handles. The instruments are used to place the small bone intramedullary nail, threaded pegs and locking screws.
IMPLANT MATERIALS
The implants of the Paragon 28® Phantom® Small Bone Intramedullary Nail System including the small bone intramedullary nails, threaded pegs and locking screws are made from Titanium Alloy (ASTM F136). The instrumentation is manufactured from medical grades of stainless steel, anodized aluminum and polymer.
INDICATIONS FOR USE
The Phantom® Small Bone Intramedullary Nail System is indicated for use in stabilization and fixation of the small bones of the feet and ankle for the treatment of fractures, osteotomies, arthrodesis, nonunions, pseudoarthroses and malunions caused by revision, joint fusion or reconstruction procedures.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
The Paragon 28® Phantom® Small Bone Intramedullary Nail System implants are not designed or sold for any use except as indicated. Use of the Phantom® Small Bone Intramedullary Nail System is contraindicated in the following situations: • Active, suspected or latent infection in the affected area • Patients who are physiologically or psychologically inadequate • Patients previously sensitized to titanium • Longitudinal splits or longitudinal fractures • Insufficient quantity or quality of bone to permit stabilization, conditions that retard healing (not including pathological fractures) and conditions causing poor blood supply • Open epiphyseal plates • In patients where there is a possibility for conservative treatment • Indications not included in the INDICATIONS FOR USE
POTENTIAL COMPLICATIONS AND ADVERSE REACTIONS
In any surgical procedure, the potential for complications and adverse reactions exist. The risks and complications with these implants include: • Loosening, deformation or fracture of the implant • Acute post-operative infections and late infections with possible sepsis • Migration, subluxation of the implant with resulting reduction in range of movement
• • •
Fractures resulting from unilateral joint loading Thrombosis and embolism Wound hematoma and delayed wound healing Temporary and protracted functional neurological perturbation Tissue reactions as a result of allergy or foreign body reaction to dislodged particles Corrosion with localized reaction and pain Pain, a feeling of malaise or abnormal sensations due to the implant used Bone loss due to stress shielding
All possible complications listed here are not typical of Paragon 28®, Inc. products but are in principle observed with any implant. Promptly inform Paragon 28®, Inc. as soon as complications occur in connection with the implants or surgical instruments used. In the event of premature failure of an implant in which a causal relationship with its geometry, surface quality or mechanical stability is suspected, please provide Paragon 28®, Inc. with the explant(s) in a cleaned, disinfected and sterile condition. Paragon 28®, Inc. cannot accept any other returns of used implants. The surgeon is held liable for complications associated with inadequate asepsis, inadequate preparation of the osseous implant bed in the case of implants, incorrect indication or surgical technique or incorrect patient information and consequent incorrect patient behavior.
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS •
• • • • •
Re-operation to remove or replace implants may be required at any time due to medical reasons or device failure. If corrective action is not taken, complications may occur. Use of an undersized implant in areas of high functional stresses may lead to implant fracture and failure. Plates and screws, wires, or other appliances of dissimilar metals should not be used together in or near the implant site. The implants and guide wires are intended for single use only. Instruments and K-wires are to be treated as sharps. Do not use other manufacturer’s instruments or implants in conjunction with the Phantom® Small Bone Intramedullary Nail System
MR SAFETY INFORMATION
The Phantom® System has been evaluated for MR safety and compatibility in the MR environment. It has not been tested for heating, migration, or image artifact in the MR environment. The safety of the Phantom® Small Bone Intramedullary System in the MR environment is unknown. Scanning a patient who has this device may result in patient injury.
MAINTANING DEVICE EFFECTIVENESS •
• • • •
•
•
The surgeon should have specific training, experience, and thorough familiarity with the use of fixation devices. The surgeon must exercise reasonable judgment when deciding which implant type to use for specific indications. The Phantom® Small Bone Intramedullary Nail System implants are not intended to endure excessive abnormal functional stresses. The Phantom® Small Bone Intramedullary Nail System implants are intended for temporary fixation only until osteogenesis occurs. Failure to use dedicated, unique Phantom® Small Bone Intramedullary Nail System instruments for every step of the implantation technique may compromise the integrity of the implanted device, leading to premature device failure and subsequent patient injury. Failed devices may require re-operation and removal. Carefully inspect the implants prior to use, inspect the instruments before and after each procedure to assure they are in proper operational condition. Instruments which are faulty, damaged or suspect should not be used. Paragon 28, Inc. recommends the use of Paragon 28, Inc. products in a sterile environment.
