## Intended Use

The Orthopedic Salvage System components are intended for cemented use only unless used in a proximal femoral replacement application. Biomet's Segmental Femoral Replacement components are intended for use in total knee, total hip, or total femoral replacement procedures. Specific indications are: 1. Painful and disabled joint resulting from avascular necrosis, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or traumatic arthritis. 2. Correction of varus, valgus or post-traumatic deformity. 3. Correction or revision of unsuccessful osteotomy, arthrodesis, or previous joint replacement. 4. Ligament deficiencies. 5. Tumor resections. 6. Treatment of non-union, femoral neck fracture, and trochanteric fractures of the proximal femur with head involvement, unmanageable by other techniques. 7. Revision of previously failed total joint arthroplasty. 8. Trauma. These devices are to be used with bone cement unless a proximal femur is indicated for use (USA). When components of the Orthopedic Salvage System are used with Biomet's Compress Segmental Femoral Replacement System, they are intended for uncemented application and indicated for: 1. Correction or revision of unsuccessful osteotomy, arthrodesis, or previous joint replacement. 2. Tumor resections. 3. Revision of previously failed total joint arthroplasty. 4. Trauma.

## Device Story

Orthopedic Salvage System (OSS) is a modular component set for complex revision surgeries and limb salvage. Components replace portions of or total femur, knee, and proximal tibia. Modification involves transitioning male tapers from machined to roller-hardened and machined surfaces. Used in clinical settings by orthopedic surgeons. Device provides structural replacement for diseased or damaged bone/joint tissue; improves patient mobility and function. Bench testing confirms roller-hardened tapers exhibit superior or equivalent fatigue strength and pull-off resistance compared to predicate.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Substantial equivalence demonstrated via non-clinical bench testing, including cantilever fatigue, compressive fatigue, and static axial separation testing.

## Technological Characteristics

Modular orthopedic prosthesis components. Modification: roller-hardened and machined male tapers. Materials: metal/polymer. Energy source: N/A (mechanical). Connectivity: N/A. Sterilization: Not specified.

## Regulatory Identification

A hip joint metal/polymer semi-constrained cemented prosthesis is a 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 have a femoral component made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, and an acetabular resurfacing component made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene and is limited to those prostheses intended for use with bone cement (§ 888.3027).

# Summarv of Technologies:

The modifications proposed within this submission include expanding the product line and modifying the male tapers from a machined taper to a roller hardened and machined taper.

# Non-Clinical Testing:

Cantilever Fatigue testing was conducted to evaluate the taper cantilever fatigue strength and compare the results with the cantilever fatigue strength of the predicate tapers. Results determined that the roller hardened tapers were stronger in cantilever fatigue than the predicate tapers. The acceptance criteria were met.

Compressive Fatigue testing was conducted to evaluate the taper compressive fatigue strength and compare the results with the compressive fatigue strength of the predicate tapers. Results determined that the compressive fatigue strength of the roller hardened tapers was equivalent to or greater than the compressive fatigue strength of the predicate tapers. The acceptance criteria were met.

{2}------------------------------------------------

K123501 (pg 3/3)

Static Axial Separation testing was conducted to evaluate the pull-off strength of the taper junction and compare the results with the pull-off strength of the taper junction of the predicate tapers. Results determined that the pull-off strength of the roller hardened tapers was equivalent to or greater than the pull-off strength of the predicate tapers. The acceptance criteria were met.

# Clinical Testing:

Clinical testing was not required to demonstrate substantial equivalence of the design modifications proposed to the cleared predicate devices.
