Indications for Use
The Metal TRANSCEND® Articulation System is indicated for use in total hip arthroplasty for reduction or relief of pain and/or improved hip function in skeletally mature patients with the following conditions: 1. non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease such as osteoarthritis, avascular necrosis, ankylosis, protrusio acetabuli, and painful hip dysplasia; 2. inflammatory degenerative joint disease such as rheumatoid arthritis; 3. correction of functional deformity; and, 4. revision procedures where other treatments or devices have failed. The Metal TRANSCEND® Articulation System components are for single use only.
Device Story
Metal TRANSCEND® Articulation System is a total hip arthroplasty prosthesis; consists of metal acetabular shells, metal acetabular liners, and metal femoral heads. Used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical settings to replace hip joint components. Device components are implanted to reduce pain and improve hip function. Acetabular shells feature porous titanium coating for bone integration; internal taper accepts liners. Femoral heads available in multiple sizes and neck lengths. System provides mechanical articulation for hip joint. Clinical benefits include pain relief, improved physical function, and correction of deformities.
Clinical Evidence
Prospective multi-site IDE study. 2-year cumulative survival was clinically equivalent to the Dobbs metal-on-metal cohort (excluding one site with surgical technique issues). Nearly 90% of patients achieved 'at least good' Harris Hip Scores at 1 and 2 years. SF-12 physical function scores increased >50%. Complications and adverse events were rare; radiolucencies >2mm were rare; no subsidence or migration >2mm observed.
Technological Characteristics
Acetabular shell: Ti6Al4V (ASTM F-136/F-620) with porous titanium (ASTM F-67/F-1580) sintered beads. Acetabular liner and femoral head: Cast CoCrMo (ASTM F75). Shell features 18.875° taper, 12 sizes (46-68mm). Liners/heads available in 28, 32, 36mm diameters. Femoral head neck lengths: short, medium, long, extra-long. Single-use, non-active, mechanical implant.
Indications for Use
Indicated for skeletally mature patients requiring total hip arthroplasty for pain relief or improved function due to non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease (osteoarthritis, avascular necrosis, ankylosis, protrusio acetabuli, painful hip dysplasia), inflammatory degenerative joint disease (rheumatoid arthritis), functional deformity, or revision of failed prior treatments.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A hip joint metal/metal semi-constrained, with a cemented acetabular component, prosthesis is a two-part device intended to be implanted to replace a hip joint. The device limits translation and rotation in one or more planes via the geometry of its articulating surfaces. It has no linkage across-the-joint. This generic type of device includes prostheses that consist of a femoral and an acetabular component, both made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum. This generic type of device is limited to those prostheses intended for use with bone cement (§ 888.3027).

#### D. CLINICAL DATA
The Metal TRANSCEND® Articulation System was previously submitted under the Metal TRANSCEND® Articulation System IDE. Under the IDE, clinical data was collected prospectively from multi-sites
After excluding a single site with significantly poorer survival than all other sites that was identified as having problems with surgical technique, 2-year cumulative survival was found to be clinically equivalent to (no worse than) the Dobbs metal on metal cohort. Nearly 90% of procedures resulted in "at least good results" at 1 and 2 years as determined by the Harris Hip Score, results that compared favorably with literature-based cohorts of THR. There was more than a 50% increase in the SF-12 physical function component score. Complications and adverse events were rare. Radiolucencies >2mm were rare. There were no findings of subsidence of the stem or migration of the cup >2mm.
In conclusion, this controlled clinical trial provides substantial evidence that the Metal TRANSCEND™ Articulation System is as safe and effective as approved predicate devices with clinically equivalent patient outcomes relative to such devices, thus supporting a 510(k) claim.
#### SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE INFORMATION E.
The intended use, material, type of interface, and design features of the Metal TRANSCEND® Articulation System are substantially equivalent to the competitive devices. The safety and effectiveness of the Metal TRANSCEND® Articulation System are adequately supported by the substantial equivalence information, materials data, testing results, and clinical data provided within this Premarket Notification.
