Intended Use
Noninflammatory degenerative joint disease including osteoarthritis and avascular necrosis. Rheumatoid arthritis. Correction of functional deformity. Treatment of non-union. femoral neck fracture, and trochanteric fractures of the proximal femur with head involvement. unmanageable by other techniques. Revision procedures where other treatment or devices have failed. Porous acetabular shells and femoral stems are indicated for uncemented biological fixation. Non-coated or polyethylene components may be used with mating components that are indicated for either cemented use.
Device Story
The G7 Acetabular System is a modular hip prosthesis used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical settings to replace damaged hip joints. The system consists of titanium alloy acetabular shells (coated with Porous Plasma Spray or additive-manufactured OsseoTi) and modular UHMWPE liners (highly crosslinked or Vitamin-E highly crosslinked). Surgeons select components based on patient anatomy and pathology. The device provides a stable, semi-constrained interface for hip joint reconstruction. By replacing the diseased joint surface, the system restores joint function, corrects deformities, and alleviates pain associated with degenerative conditions or fractures. It is intended for both primary and revision arthroplasty procedures.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data was deemed necessary. Substantial equivalence is supported by non-clinical bench testing, including push-out, lever-out, torque-out, dynamic impaction, anatomic and distracted head fatigue testing, range of motion evaluation, and rim impingement testing. Additional justifications provided for wear, MRI compatibility, packaging, sterilization, shelf life, and dimensional stability.
Technological Characteristics
Modular hip prosthesis. Shells: Titanium alloy (ASTM F136), Porous Plasma Spray (ASTM F1580), or additive-manufactured OsseoTi (ASTM F2924). Liners: UHMWPE, including highly crosslinked (HXPE) and Vitamin-E highly crosslinked (VEHXPE). Designs include solid, limited hole, multi-hole, and PPS Finned shells; liners available in Neutral, High Wall, Neutral +5mm, or 10-degree face-changing configurations. Semi-constrained design.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients with noninflammatory degenerative joint disease (osteoarthritis, avascular necrosis), rheumatoid arthritis, functional deformity, non-union, femoral neck/trochanteric fractures, or revision needs. Suitable for uncemented biological fixation or cemented use depending on component type.
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.

### Purpose and Device Description:
Intended Use and
The purpose of this subject 510(k) is to introduce a new set of acetabular liners within the G7 Acetabular System. There are no changes to the other components within the system.
The G7 Acetabular System is a modular system, designed to provide numerous options for surgeons and patients in one compatible system. It is modular in design including multiple variants of acetabular shells: a titanium alloy (ASTM F136) shell with an apical hole and plug, the outer surface of the shell is coated with Biomet's Porous Plasma Spray (PPS®) (ASTM F1580) or produced by additive manufacturing using titanium alloy powder as OsseoTi® (ASTM F2924), available in solid shell, limited hole, and multi-hole designs as well as PPS Finned limited hole shells. The other main component is an acetabular liner manufactured from UHMWPE polyethylene, offered in both highly crosslinked polyethylene (HXPE) and Vitamin-E Highly Crosslinked polyethylene (VEHXPE), available in Neutral, High Wall, Neutral +5mm, or 10 Degree Face Changing designs.
- Indications for Use:
- 1. Noninflammatory degenerative joint disease including osteoarthritis and avascular necrosis.
- Rheumatoid arthritis. 2.
- 3. Correction of functional deformity.
- 4. Treatment of non-union, femoral neck fracture, and trochanteric fractures of the proximal femur with head involvement, unmanageable by other techniques.
{5}------------------------------------------------
- 5. Revision procedures where other treatment or devices have failed.
Porous acetabular shells and femoral stems are indicated for uncemented biological fixation. Non-coated or polyethylene components may be used with mating components that are indicated for either cemented or uncemented use.
The rationale for substantial equivalence is based on consideration of the following characteristics:

- Torque Out Testing O
- Dynamic (Impaction) Insertion Testing O
- Anatomic Fatigue Testing O
- Distracted Head Fatigue Testing O
- Range of Motion Evaluation O

- o Rim Impingement Testing
- Clinical Tests: 0
- o Clinical data was not deemed necessary for the subject device.
## Substantial Equivalence Conclusion
The subject device has the same intended use and indications for use as the G7 Acetabular System predicate device. The subject device has similar technological characteristics to the predicates, and the performance data and analyses demonstrate that:
- any differences do not raise new questions of safety ● and effectiveness; and
- o the proposed device is at least as safe and effective as the legally marketed predicate devices.
