Each device is a single-use device. The Osteonics® Shoulder Humeral Components are intended for cemented or cementless applications. The Osteonics® Shoulder Humeral Components may be used as a hemi- or as a total shoulder replacement device. If used as a hemi-shoulder replacement device, the Osteonics® Shoulder Humeral Components are intended to articulate directly with the anatomic glenoid. If used as a total shoulder replacement device, the Osteonics® Shoulder Humeral Components are intended to articulate with the legally marketed Osteonics® All Polyethylene Glenoid Shoulder Component. ## Device Story Modular shoulder prosthesis consisting of humeral stem and mating humeral head; used for hemi- or total shoulder replacement. Stems manufactured from Ti6Al4V alloy; heads from cobalt chromium alloy (optionally nitrogen ion implanted). Features include male/female taper lock, proximal grit-blasted surface, and distal flats for rotational stability. Implanted by orthopedic surgeons in clinical/OR settings to replace diseased or damaged shoulder joints. Provides structural support and articulation surface to restore joint function, reduce pain, and improve mobility in patients with arthritis, necrosis, or fractures. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence based on design, material, and technological comparisons to legally marketed predicate devices. ## Technological Characteristics Materials: Ti6Al4V alloy (stem), cobalt chromium alloy (head). Features: Male/female taper lock, grit-blasted proximal stem, distal flats, optional nitrogen ion implantation for bearing surfaces. Modular design for cemented or cementless application. ## Regulatory Identification A shoulder joint metal/polymer semi-constrained cemented prosthesis is a device intended to be implanted to replace a shoulder 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 humeral resurfacing component made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, and a glenoid resurfacing component made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, and is limited to those prostheses intended for use with bone cement (§ 888.3027). ## Special Controls *Classification.* Class II.

They are characterized by the following features: - Male Taper: The humeral stem components are affixed to the modular humeral head components by means of a male/female taper lock. - Flanges: There are flanges on the anterior, posterior and lateral sides. - Collar: The collar seats flush with the prepared proximal humerus. There are two collar designs. - Proximal surface roughening: The surface of the proximal portion of the stem is grit blasted to enhance the cement/prosthesis interface. - Distal Flats: The distal flats provide rotational stability. ## The Osteonics® Shoulder Humeral Heads: The Osteonics® Shoulder Humeral Heads feature a female taper design. The heads are available in a range of sizes and thicknesses. The heads feature a circular groove in the non-articulating underside of the component to prevent the components from being unnecessarily heavy. The humeral head components, which are manufactured from cobalt chromium alloy, will be available with or without nitrogen ion implantation. ## Intended Use: Each Osteonics® Shoulder Humeral Component consists of a humeral stem component and a mating humeral head component. Each device is a single-use device. The Osteonics® Shoulder Humeral Components are intended for cemented or cementless applications. Page 5 {2} Osteonics® Shoulder Humeral Components 510(k) Summary The Osteonics® Shoulder Humeral Components may be used as a hemi- or as a total shoulder replacement device. If used as a hemi-shoulder replacement device, the Osteonics® Shoulder Humeral Components are intended to articulate directly with the anatomic glenoid. If used as a total shoulder replacement device, the Osteonics® Shoulder Humeral Components are intended to articulate with the legally marketed Osteonics® All Polyethylene Glenoid Shoulder Component. The specific indications for the use of the Osteonics® Shoulder Humeral Components are as follows: - Aseptic necrosis of the humeral head. - Painful, disabling joint disease of the shoulder resulting from: degenerative arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis or post-traumatic arthritis. - Proximal humeral fracture and/or dislocation. - Revision of previous unsuccessful total shoulder replacement, resurfacing or other procedure. - Clinical management problems where arthrodesis or alternative reconstructive techniques are less likely to achieve satisfactory results. ## Statement of Technological Comparison: The subject devices do not differ in terms of their intended uses from the predicate devices cited earlier in this summary. The subject devices utilize the same materials as one or more of the predicate devices cited above. The subject devices employ design features which are common to one or more of the predicate devices cited above. In addition, the Osteonics® Shoulder Humeral Heads in a version with a nitrogen ion implanted bearing surface can be found substantially equivalent because the use of Nitrogen ion implantation for cobalt chromium bearing surfaces has already been found substantially equivalent by FDA for both hip femoral bearing and knee femoral bearing surfaces.
