Intended Use
The general indications associated with the use of the Precedent Revision Hip system without HA in total hip arthroplasty include: - Patient conditions of non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease (NIDJD), e.g., 1. avascular necrosis, osteoarthritis and inflammatory joint disease (UD), e.g., rheumatoid arthritis. - Those patients with failed previous surgery where pain, deformity, or dysfunction 2. persists. - 3. Revision of previously failed arthroplasty. The Precedent Revision Hip System without HA is intended only for use without bone cement.
Device Story
Femoral hip prosthesis for revision arthroplasty; manufactured from wrought or forged titanium alloy. Features threaded 12/14 neck trunnion for modular head attachment; grit-blasted surface for fixation; distal flutes for rotational stability; coronal slot to reduce bending stiffness. Used in orthopedic surgery; implanted by surgeons. Device provides structural replacement for femoral bone deficiencies; intended for cementless fixation. Benefits include restoration of hip mobility and reduction of pain/dysfunction in patients with failed primary arthroplasties.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence based on design, material, and intended use comparisons to legally marketed predicate devices.
Technological Characteristics
Material: Wrought or forged titanium alloy. Design: Modular femoral stem with 12/14 neck trunnion, grit-blasted surface, distal flutes, and coronal slot. Fixation: Cementless. Sterilization: Not specified. Connectivity: None. Software: None.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients with non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease (e.g., avascular necrosis, osteoarthritis), inflammatory joint disease (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis), failed previous surgery with persistent pain/deformity/dysfunction, or revision of failed hip arthroplasty. Intended for cementless application in total or hemi-hip arthroplasty.
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 alloy. The Precedent Revision Hip System features a threaded Sulzer 12/14 configured neck trunnion for attachment to Sulzer Orthopedics' currently marketed femoral heads, including Biolox and Zirconia heads, employing a Sulzer 12/14 configured bore. The 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 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 pain. The distal tip of the Precedent Revision Hip System is polished to a machined finish to provide ease of insertion during surgery.
This device is intended for use with the following previously cleared devices:
- Sulzer Orthopedics metallic femoral bearing heads 체
- Sulzer Orthopedics Biolox Bearing Heads I
- 트 Sulzer Orthopedics Zirconia Bearing Heads
- Sulzer Orthopedics bipolar components
- Sulzer Orthopedics unipolar components
- 제 Sulzer Orthopedics acetabular components

## SPECIFIC DIAGNOSTIC INDICATIONS
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., avascular 1. necrosis, osteoarthritis, and inflammatory joint disease (IJD), e.g., rheumatoid arthritis.
- 2. Those patients with failed previous surgery where pain, deformity, or dysfunction persists.
- 3. Revision of previously failed hip arthroplasty
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 ioint 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.
### SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE
The Precedent Revision Hip System is substantially equivalent to the following legally marketed predicate competitive devices:
- 제 Sentry Femoral Component: Howmedica Inc.
- . S-ROM® Femoral Prosthesis: Joint Medical Product Corporation.
- Stability Hip Stem: Depuy Inc.
- 피 Wagner Revision Stem: Protek Inc.
