## Intended Use

The CONSENSUS® Acetabular Shell, All UHMWPE is indicated for use in: 1. Primary intervention of rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, post-traumatic arthritis and avascular necrosis with a non-acute fracture of the femoral neck. 2. Osteoarthrosis involving femoral and acetabular articular surfaces. 3. Avascular osteonecrosis and/or non-union of acute femoral neck fractures. 4. Fracture-dislocation of the hip. 5. Replacement of unsatisfactory cemented or press fit hip components if sufficient bone stock exists.

## Device Story

Consensus® Acetabular Shell is a single-use, all-UHMWPE hip replacement component; functions as an alternative to metal-backed acetabular shells within the Consensus® Total Hip System. Device articulates with compatible Consensus® femoral heads (Biolox Ceramic, Zirconia, or CoCrMo). Used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical settings for total hip arthroplasty. Provides a bearing surface for the femoral head to restore hip joint function; benefits patients by addressing arthritis, necrosis, or fracture-related joint failure.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence based on non-clinical performance data and design similarity to predicate.

## Technological Characteristics

Material: Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) per ASTM F648. Form factor: Acetabular shell available in multiple sizes for 22mm, 26mm, and 28mm femoral heads. Sterilization: Provided sterile. Energy source: None (mechanical).

## 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).
