21 CFR 888.3330 — Prosthesis, Hip, Semi-Constrained (Metal Uncemented Acetabular Component)

Orthopedic (OR) · Part 888 Subpart D—Prosthetic Devices · § 888.3330

Identification

A hip joint metal/metal semi-constrained, with an uncemented acetabular component, prosthesis is a two-part 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 consist of a femoral and an acetabular component, both made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum. The femoral component is intended to be fixed with bone cement. The acetabular component is intended for use without bone cement (§ 888.3027).
