* pathological fractures of the proximal femur including metastatic fractures

* proximal femur osteotomies

* fixation of fractures in osteopenic bone

* fixation of nonunions and malunions

* basi/transcervical femoral neck fractures

* subcapital femoral neck fractures

* subtrochanteric femur fractures.

In addition, the PERI-LOC Periarticular Locked Plating System including Locking Hole Inserts and Cable Accessories can be used for adult and pediatric patients, as well as patients with osteopenic bone. PERI-LOC bone plates and screws are indicated for:

* fixation of pelvic, small and long bone fractures, including those of the tibia, fibula, femur, pelvis, acetabulum, metacarpals, metatarsals, humerus, ulna, radius, calcaneus, and clavicle.

Smith & Nephew VLP FOOT Plating System, Screw System and Accessories Instruments are accessory devices and are intended to be used to assist in the implantation of Smith & Nephew VLP FOOT Plating System and Screw Systems and their cleared indications for use.

The Smith & Nephew VLP FOOT Plating System can be used in adolescent (12-18 years) and transitional adolescent (18-21 years) subpopulations and adults, as well as patients with osteopenic bone. The VLP Plating System is indicated for:

* the treatment of fracture fixation, reconstruction or arthrodesis of small bones, including those in the forefoot, midfoot and hindfoot.

The Smith & Nephew Screw Systems, containing 2.5mm, 3.0mm Cannulated and 3.0mm Headless Compression Screws, are indicated for:

* fixation of interarticular and extra-articular fractures and non-unions of small bones and small bone fragments;

* arthrodesis of small joints;

* bunionectomies and osteotomies;

* scaphoid and other carpal bones;

* metacarpals, tarsals, metatarsals, patella, ulnar styloid, capitellum, radial head and radial styloid.

The Smith & Nephew 2.0mm OFX Screw is indicated for:

* osteotomies of the lesser metatarsals, such as Weil osteotomies, osteotomies, fusions and fractures of the phalanges, metacarpals and carpals of the hand.

Smith & Nephew Accessories, such as pins and wires, are indicated for:

* pelvic, small and long bone fracture fixation.

Smith & Nephew InterTAN CHS Limited Collapse Set Screw Instruments are accessory devices and are intended to be used to assist in the implantation of Smith & Nephew InterTAN CHS Limited Collapse Set Screw Systems and their cleared indications for use.

InterTAN CHS Limited Collapse Set Screw is indicated for:

* Intracapsular fractures of the proximal femur (For certain high subcapsular fractures, it may be more prudent to select a prosthesis in lieu of internal fixation to reduce the risk of nonunion or AVN of the femoral head).

* Intertrochanteric fractures.

* Stable and unstable fractures of the proximal femur in which medial cortex stability can be restored.

* Hip osteotomy

Smith & Nephew VLP Locking Bone Plates and Locking/Non-Locking Bone Screws Instruments are accessory devices and are intended to be used to assist in the implantation of Smith & Nephew PERI-LOC Periarticular Locked Plating Systems and their cleared indications for use.

PERI-LOC Periarticular Locked Plating System VLP Plates and Screws can be used for adult and pediatric patients, as well as patients with osteopenic bone. PERI-LOC contoured VLP Plates and Screws are indicated for:

* partial articular fractures (AO/OTA Fracture Classification Type B) of the distal and proximal tibia and for fracture fixation of the fibula

PERI-LOC VLP One-Third Tubular Locking Plates are indicated for:

* fixation of fractures, non-unions, and osteotomies of the medial malleolus, fibula, distal ulna, olecranon, calcaneus and metatarsals.

Smith & Nephew 6.5mm and 8.0mm Cannulated Screw Instruments are accessory devices and are intended to be used to assist in the implantation of Smith & Nephew 6.5mm and 8.0mm Cannulated Screw Systems and their cleared indications for use.
