## Intended Use

The Select Shoulder Humeral Stem is a metallic humeral component manufactured from cobalt chrome alloy (CoCrMo) and is intended for use either with or without bone cement in hemiarthroplasty.

## Device Story

Metallic humeral component for hemiarthroplasty; manufactured from cobalt chrome alloy (CoCrMo); features proximal grit-blasted surface for biologic or cement fixation; proximal trapezoidal shape with A-P taper; lateral antirotation fin; suture holes for soft tissue/bony fragment attachment; male IOI Morse type taper for humeral head attachment; rounded, fluted distal stem; accepts cement centralizer. Used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical settings for shoulder joint reconstruction. Provides stable cement mantle and rotational stability; facilitates soft tissue tensioning; restores glenohumeral joint stability.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Fatigue analysis and taper testing performed to evaluate structural integrity under physiologic loading.

## Technological Characteristics

Material: Cobalt chrome alloy (CoCrMo). Design: Proximally grit-blasted, trapezoidal body, lateral antirotation fin, suture holes, male IOI Morse type taper, rounded/fluted distal stem. Fixation: Cemented or uncemented. Energy source: None (mechanical).

## Regulatory Identification

A shoulder joint humeral (hemi-shoulder) metallic uncemented prosthesis is a device made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum. It has an intramedullary stem and is intended to be implanted to replace the articular surface of the proximal end of the humerus and to be fixed without bone cement (§ 888.3027). This device is not intended for biological fixation.

Classification Name:
Shoulder joint humeral (hemi-shoulder) metallic uncemented prosthesis - 21 CFR 888.3690

Common/Usual Name:
Humeral Stem

Trade/Proprietary:
Select® Shoulder CoCr Humeral Stem

Product Description/Substantial Equivalence:

The Select Shoulder Humeral Stem is a metallic humeral component manufactured from cobalt chrome alloy (CoCrMo) and is intended for use either with or without bone cement in hemiarthroplasty. The humeral stem is available in a variety of sizes and lengths and features a proximally grit blasted surface (except for the head stem taper) for biologic or cement fixation. The proximal trapezoidal shape tapers in the A-P plane, thus providing for a stable cement mantle. The proximal body also features an antirotation fin on the lateral aspect. Suture holes are provided in the medial proximal body and lateral fin to allow for soft tissue/bony fragment attachment and tensioning, thus resulting in a more biomechanically stable construct for repair of proximal humeral fractures. A male IOI Morse type taper permits attachment of one of the metallic humeral heads offered by Intermedics Orthopedics. This taper is identical to the taper of the previously cleared Select Shoulder System. Distally, the stem is rounded and fluted to provide enhanced fixation and rotational stability. The distal stem tip is designed to accept a cement centralizer. The humeral stem is designed for use with Intermedics Orthopedics humeral heads in a variety of sizes and heights for increased stability of the glenohumeral joint.

Fatigue analysis and taper testing of the Select Shoulder Humeral Stem indicated that the device would survive physiologic loading.

The Select Shoulder CoCr Humeral Stem is similar to those of the Depuy Global Total Shoulder System, the Biomet Bio-Modular Total Shoulder, the Zimmer Fenlin Total Shoulder, the Kirschner Integrated Shoulder System, the 3M/Orthomet Neer II Shoulder System, and the Smith &amp; Nephew Richards Cofield Shoulder.
