Indications for Use
The 32 mm ceramic femoral head is design for use with the Consensus® or UniSyn ® Hip Systems, and is not intended for substitution with components of other systems. The indications for use are: With Consensus® System: 1. Primary intervention of rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, post traumatic arthritis or degenerative arthritis, and avascular necrosis with a non-acute fracture of the femoral neck. Osteoarthrosis involving femoral and acetabular articular surfaces. 2. Avascular osteonecrosis and/or non-union of acute femoral neck fractures. 3. Fracture or dislocation of the hip. 4. Replacement of unsatisfactory cemented or press fit hip components if sufficient bone stock exists. With UniSyn® System: 1. Significantly impaired joints resulting from rheumatoid, osteo, and post-traumatic arthritis. 2. Revision of failed femoral head replacement, hip arthroplasty or other hip procedures. Proximal femoral fractures. 4. Avascular necrosis of the femoral head. Non-union of proximal femoral neck fractures. 5. Other indications such as congenital dysplasia, arthrodesis conversion, coxa magna, coxa plana, coxa vara, coxa valga, developmental conditions, metabolic and tumorous conditions, osteomalacia, pseudarthrosis conversion, and structural abnormalities. 7. Indications for the use of the UniSyn Hip System must be carefully considered with respect to the patient's entire evaluation and alternative procedures. Patient selection is dependent on age, general health, available bone stock and quality, and any prior surgery or anticipated future surgery. Prosthetic replacement is generally indicated only for patients who have reached skeletal maturity. Total joint replacement in younger patients should be considered only when explicit indications outweigh the associated risks of the surgery and modified demands regarding activity and joint loading are assured. This includes all patients who may or may not have multiple joint involvement, for whom restoration of joint mobility leads to an expectation of greater mobility and an improvement in the quality of life.
Device Story
32 mm Zirconia ceramic femoral head component; designed for integration with Consensus or UniSyn hip systems. Functions as prosthetic replacement for femoral head in total hip arthroplasty. Used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical/surgical settings. Provides articulating surface for hip joint restoration; improves mobility and quality of life in patients with degenerative or traumatic joint conditions. Not intended for use with other systems.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence based on bench testing and design characteristics.
Technological Characteristics
32 mm diameter femoral head; material: Zirconia ceramic; intended for use with Consensus or UniSyn hip systems; Class II device (21 CFR 888.3353); product code LZO.
Indications for Use
Indicated for skeletally mature patients requiring hip arthroplasty due to rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, post-traumatic arthritis, degenerative arthritis, avascular necrosis, femoral neck fractures, hip dislocation, or revision of failed prior hip procedures. Contraindicated in patients without sufficient bone stock or those unable to meet modified activity/loading demands.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A hip joint metal/ceramic/polymer semi-constrained cemented or nonporous uncemented prosthesis is a device intended to be implanted to replace a hip joint. This device limits translation and rotation in one or more planes via the geometry of its articulating surfaces. It has no linkage across-the-joint. The two-part femoral component consists of a femoral stem made of alloys to be fixed in the intramedullary canal of the femur by impaction with or without use of bone cement. The proximal end of the femoral stem is tapered with a surface that ensures positive locking with the spherical ceramic (aluminium oxide, A12 03 ) head of the femoral component. The acetabular component is made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene or ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene reinforced with nonporous metal alloys, and used with or without bone cement.
