Intended Use
This device is intended to replace the proximal, distal or total femur, especially in cases that require extensive resection and restoration. Replacement of the distal femur would also include replacement of the proximal tibia and the possible resurfacing of the patella, if necessary. Proximal replacement components are available for press-fit or cemented application. Components used for replacement of the distal femur are for cemented use only. Specific diagnostic indications for use of the MOST include: metastatic diseases (e.g., osteosarcomas, chondrosarcomas, giant cell tumors, bone tumors) requiring extensive resection(s) and replacement(s) of the proximal and/or distal femur; revision cases requiring extensive resection(s) and replacement(s) of the proximal and/or distal femur; and, severe conditions of inflammatory or noninflammatory degenerative joint disease that require extensive resection(s) and replacement(s) of the proximal and/or distal femur.
Device Story
Modular orthopedic prosthesis system for proximal, distal, or total femur replacement; indicated for oncology cases or severe trauma/revision requiring extensive bone resection. System components include proximal femoral replacements (with/without greater trochanter design), distal femoral replacements (hinge-type mechanism allowing 15-degree rotation), intramedullary stems with Cancellous Structured Titanium (CSTi), femoral segments, and all-poly patella. Used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical/surgical settings. Modularity allows intraoperative length adjustment and restoration of bone loss. Distal components require cement; proximal components allow press-fit or cement. Device restores joint function and structural integrity in patients with significant bone loss.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence is based on design, intended use, and mechanical comparison to predicate devices.
Technological Characteristics
Modular femoral/tibial prosthesis system. Materials include Cancellous Structured Titanium (CSTi) for I/M stems and all-polyethylene for patellar components. Features hinge-type knee mechanism allowing 15-degree internal/external rotation. Proximal components support press-fit or cemented fixation; distal components are cemented. Modular design allows for variable femoral resection lengths.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring extensive resection and replacement of proximal, distal, or total femur due to metastatic bone disease (e.g., osteosarcoma, chondrosarcoma, giant cell tumors), revision surgery, or severe inflammatory/non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A hip joint metal/polymer semi-constrained cemented 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 includes prostheses that have a femoral component made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, and an acetabular resurfacing component made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene and is limited to those prostheses intended for use with bone cement (§ 888.3027).
