Intended Use

The Precedent Revision Hip System is primarily intended to address femoral bone deficiencies associated with failure of primary total or hemi-hip arthroplasties. In addition, the Precedent Revision Hip System, like the predicate competitive hip stems, is intended for cementless application. The general indications associated with the use of the Precedent Revision Hip System in total hip arthroplasty include: Patient conditions of noninflammatory degenerative joint disease (NIDJD), e.g., 1. avascular necrosis, osteoarthritis, and inflammatory joint disease (IJD), e.g., rheumatoid arthritis. Those patients with failed previous surgery where pain, deformity, or dysfunction 2. persists. Revision of previously failed hip arthroplasty 3. Total hip replacements may be considered for younger patients if any unequivocal indication outweighs the risks associated with the age of the patient, and modified demands regarding activity and hip joint loading are assured. This includes severely crippled patients with multiple joint involvement, for whom an immediate need of hip mobility leads to an expectation of significant improvement in the quality of their lives. The Precedent Revision Hip System is intended only for use without bone cement in the United States. This device is intended for single use only.

Device Story

Precedent Revision Hip System is a femoral hip prosthesis designed for revision arthroplasty. Manufactured from wrought or forged titanium alloy; features threaded 12/14 neck trunnion for attachment to Sulzer femoral heads (Biolox, Zirconia). Available in collared/collarless designs. Proximal stem surface is grit-blasted and hydroxylapatite (HA) coated; distal portion features flutes for rotational stability in femoral canal; coronal slot reduces distal stem bending stiffness. Distal tip is polished for ease of insertion. Used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical settings for cementless application. Device provides mechanical interlock to address femoral bone deficiencies following failed primary arthroplasty. Benefits include restoration of hip mobility and reduction of pain/dysfunction in revision patients.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is based on design characteristics and comparison to legally marketed predicate devices.

Technological Characteristics

Titanium alloy (wrought or forged) femoral stem; hydroxylapatite (HA) proximal coating; grit-blasted surface; fluted distal geometry; coronal slot for stiffness reduction; polished distal tip. Cementless, press-fit application. Single-use.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients with non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease (e.g., avascular necrosis, osteoarthritis), inflammatory joint disease (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis), or failed previous hip surgery with persistent pain, deformity, or dysfunction requiring revision arthroplasty. Suitable for younger patients if clinical need outweighs age-related risks.

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.

#### PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The Precedent Revision Hip System is manufactured from either wrought or forged titanium The Precedent Revision Hip System features a threaded Sulzer 12/14 configured neck allov. trunnion for attachment to Sulzer Orthopedics' currently marketed femoral heads, including Biolox and Zirconia heads, employing a Sulzer 12/14 configured bore. Precedent Revision Hip System is available in both a collared and collarless design to address surgeon preference. The entire length of the Precedent Revision Hip System, except the neck region and the distal tip, is roughened via the process of grit blasting. The grit blasted proximal surface of the stem is coated with hydroxylapatite (HA). The distal portion of the Precedent Revision Hip System employs flutes which cut into the distal cortices of the prepared femoral canal, thereby providing rotational stability to the hip stem. In addition, the Precedent Revision Hip System employs a coronal slot which potentially reduces bending stiffness of the distal stem and thigh The distal tip of the Precedent Revision Hip System is polished to a machined finish to pain. provide ease of insertion during surgery.
