The hip system devices included in this submission are sterile, single-use devices intended for use in primary and revision total hip arthroplasty to alleviate pain and restore function.
Device Story
Hip system includes femoral heads, acetabular shells, acetabular inserts, modular necks, and modular stems for hip arthroplasty. Devices are sterile, single-use, and implanted by orthopedic surgeons in clinical settings. Components are press-fit or cemented into the proximal femur and acetabulum to replace diseased or damaged joint surfaces, alleviating pain and restoring function. This submission specifically updates labeling to include safety information regarding modular hip stem taper junctions and harmonizes language across Howmedica Osteonics' hip stem labeling. No changes to device design, materials, or operational principles were made; devices remain substantially equivalent to previously cleared systems.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided. This is a labeling-only submission for previously cleared devices.
Technological Characteristics
Modular hip arthroplasty components including femoral heads, acetabular shells, inserts, necks, and stems. Materials include metal, polymer, and ceramic combinations. Designed for cementless (press-fit) or cemented fixation. Sterile, single-use. No software or electronic components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring total or hemi-hip replacement due to noninflammatory degenerative joint disease (osteoarthritis, avascular necrosis), rheumatoid arthritis, functional deformity, failed prior treatments, or proximal femur fractures (nonunion, femoral neck, trochanteric) with head involvement. Specific stems (Hipstar) indicated for high-risk dislocation patients (prior dislocation, bone loss, laxity, neuromuscular disease, instability) when used with constrained liners. Restoration Modular system indicated for primary/revision arthroplasty and severe proximal bone loss. Contraindications: None explicitly listed, though specific systems are cementless only.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A hip joint metal/polymer/metal semi-constrained porous-coated uncemented prosthesis is a 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 has a femoral component made of a cobalt-chromium-molybdenum (Co-Cr-Mo) alloy or a titanium-aluminum-vanadium (Ti-6Al-4V) alloy and an acetabular component composed of an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene articulating bearing surface fixed in a metal shell made of Co-Cr-Mo or Ti-6Al-4V. The femoral stem and acetabular shell have a porous coating made of, in the case of Co-Cr-Mo substrates, beads of the same alloy, and in the case of Ti-6Al-4V substrates, fibers of commercially pure titanium or Ti-6Al-4V alloy. The porous coating has a volume porosity between 30 and 70 percent, an average pore size between 100 and 1,000 microns, interconnecting porosity, and a porous coating thickness between 500 and 1,500 microns. The generic type of device has a design to achieve biological fixation to bone without the use of bone cement.

## Description:
The devices included in this submission are femoral heads, acetabular shells, acetabular inserts, modular necks, modular stems and accessory components used in hip arthroplasty procedures. All devices have been previously deemed substantially equivalent in prior 510(k) submissions and are commercially available. The purpose of this submission is to modify the labeling of these devices to include safety information in the Instructions for Use (IFUs) regarding modular hip stem junctions. In addition to this specific update, general revisions have been made to the IFUs to harmonize the language between the Howmedica Osteonics' hip stem labeling
#### Intended Use:
The hip system devices included in this submission are sterile, single-use devices intended for use in primary and revision total hip arthroplasty to alleviate pain and restore function.
### Indications:
The overall indications for use for the subject total and hemi hip replacement prostheses include:
- 1. noninflammatory degenerative joint disease including osteoarthritis and avascular necrosis:
- 2. rheumatoid arthritis:
- correction of functional deformity; 3.
- 4. revision procedures where other treatments or devices have failed; and,
- 5. treatment of nonunion, femoral neck and trochanteric fractures of the proximal femur with head involvement that are unmanageable using other techniques.
The Rejuvenate Hip System is intended for cementless use only.
## Additional indications specific to the Hipstar Stem:
The Hipstar Femoral Stem is intended for cementless use only.
When mated with a constrained acetabular liner the Hipstar Stem is indicated for use in primary and revision total hip arthroplasty for patients at high risk of hip dislocation due to a history of prior dislocations, bone loss, joint or soft tissue laxity, neuromuscular disease or intraoperative instability. t
