Intended Use
1. Non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease including osteoarthritis and avascular necrosis. 2. Rheumatoid arthritis. 3. Correction of functional deformity. 4. Fractures of the proximal humerus, where other methods of treatment are deemed inadequate. 5. Difficult clinical management problems, where other methods of treatment may not be inadequate. Optional use in revision: in some medical conditions (e.g. revision when healthy and good bone stock exists), the surgeon may opt to use primary implants in a revision procedure. The Alliance Monoblock glenoid components are indicated for cemented application only. The Alliance Modular Glenoid components are intended to be implanted with bone cement. The TM and porous posts may be inserted without bone cement.
Device Story
Alliance Augmented Glenoid is a shoulder joint prosthesis component; part of a total shoulder replacement system. Device features an augmented wedge (12.5-degree) on the undersurface to correct glenoid bone defects. Inputs: patient anatomy during surgical implantation. Operation: surgeon implants glenoid component into the glenoid cavity; modular posts (Tivanium substrate with Trabecular Metal sleeve or Porous Plasma Spray coating) provide fixation. Used in clinical settings by orthopedic surgeons. Output: physical prosthetic surface for humeral head articulation. Benefit: restores joint function and corrects bone deformity in patients with degenerative or traumatic shoulder conditions.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is supported by non-clinical bench testing, specifically glenoid loosening (rocking horse) testing per ASTM F2028.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: UHMWPE and Ti-6Al-4V. Modular posts feature Tivanium substrate with Trabecular Metal (TM) sleeve or Porous Plasma Spray (PPS) coating. Design: 12.5-degree augment wedge added to undersurface. Sterilization: Gamma radiation (SAL 10-6). Testing: ASTM F2028 (Glenoid Loosening/Rocking Horse).
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients with non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease (osteoarthritis, avascular necrosis), rheumatoid arthritis, functional deformity, proximal humerus fractures, or difficult clinical management cases requiring total shoulder replacement. Optional use in revision procedures where healthy bone stock exists.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A shoulder joint metal/polymer semi-constrained cemented prosthesis is a device intended to be implanted to replace a shoulder 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 have a humeral resurfacing component made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, and a glenoid resurfacing component made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, and is limited to those prostheses intended for use with bone cement (§ 888.3027).
