Intended Use
The indications for the Osteonics Solar™ Shoulder Bipolar System are: - Aseptic necrosis of the humeral head . - Painful, disabling joint disease of the shoulder resulting from: degenerative arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis or post-traumatic arthritis. - . Proximal humeral fracture and/or dislocation - Clinical management problems where arthrodesis or alternative reconstructive techniques are less likely to achieve satisfactory results. - Pathological conditions or age considerations which indicate a more conservative glenoid procedure and avoidance of the use of bone cement in the glenoid.
Device Story
The Osteonics Solar Shoulder Bipolar System is a modular shoulder prosthesis for hemi-shoulder replacement. It consists of a humeral stem, a bipolar humeral head component (metal shell, UHMWPE insert, locking ring), and a 22 mm bipolar modular head. The device is intended for cementless application, articulating directly with the anatomic glenoid. It is a single-use, sterile device used by orthopedic surgeons in a clinical/surgical setting to treat shoulder joint disease or fractures. The system provides a mechanical replacement for the humeral head to restore joint function and reduce pain. The device is designed to be used with other components of the Osteonics Solar Shoulder System.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: ASTM F75 cobalt chromium alloy (shell), ASTM F1537 cobalt chromium alloy (modular head), and UHMWPE (insert). Design: Modular bipolar humeral head system for cementless use. Sterilization: Provided sterile. Connectivity: None.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients with aseptic necrosis of the humeral head, painful/disabling degenerative, rheumatoid, or post-traumatic arthritis of the shoulder, proximal humeral fracture/dislocation, or conditions requiring conservative glenoid procedures avoiding bone cement.

510(k) Summary
#### Device Description
The Osteonics" Solar™ Shoulder Bipolar System consists of an Osteonics Solar™ Shoulder Bipolar Humeral Head Component, an Osteonics 22 mm Solar™ Shoulder Bipolar Modular Head and an Osteonics Solar™ Shoulder Humeral Stem. The humeral stem was determined substantially equivalent via 510(k) K955731. There have been no modifications made to the humeral stem. The bipolar head component consists of three preassembled pieces: a metal shell, UHMWPE insert and locking ring. The component will be sold preassembled. The metallic shell is manufactured from ASTM F75 cobalt chromium alloy. The 22 mm bipolar modular head is manufactured from ASTM 1537 cobalt chromium alloy. The Osteonics Solar™ cobalt chromium Shoulder Bipolar Components (Bipolar Head Component and 22 mm Bipolar Modular Head) are intended to be used in cementless applications and as a hemi-shoulder system. Used as a hemi-shoulder replacement device, the Osteonics Solar™ Shoulder, Bipolar Humeral Head Components are intended to articulate directly with the anatomic glenoid.
