## Intended Use

The Reflection Acetabular Reinforcement Ring System is indicated as follows: rheumatoid arthritis, avascular necrosis, femoral neck fractures, osteomyelitis, fracture-dislocation of the hip, and unsuccessful cup arthroplasty, endoprosthesis, femoral osteotomy, or girdlestone resection. Indications also include osteoarthritis, traumatic arthritis, slipped capita epiphysis, fused hip, and diastrophic variant. Reflection Acetabular Reinforcement Rings are intended to be used in primary and revision surgeries where the acetabulum has the deficiencies of the acetabular roof, anterior or posterior pillar, medial wall deficiency, and / or protrusion as a result of the indications listed previously. The device is for single use.

## Device Story

Acetabular reinforcement ring; addresses acetabular defects; used in primary and revision hip surgeries; provides structural support for acetabular roof, pillars, or medial wall; manufactured from titanium; single-use; implanted by orthopedic surgeons in clinical/OR setting; facilitates stable fixation for acetabular components in compromised bone stock.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; safety and effectiveness based on long history of use of similar predicate devices.

## Technological Characteristics

Material: Titanium. Form factor: Acetabular reinforcement ring in various sizes. Intended for single use.

## Regulatory Identification

Surgical mesh is a metallic or polymeric screen intended to be implanted to reinforce soft tissue or bone where weakness exists. Examples of surgical mesh are metallic and polymeric mesh for hernia repair, and acetabular and cement restrictor mesh used during orthopedic surgery.
