## Intended Use

The Select Shoulder Curved-back Pegged All-Poly Glenoids, when used with one of the Select Shoulder Humeral Stems and Humeral Heads, are intended only for use with bone cement in cases of total shoulder arthroplasty for treatment of the following: 1. Patient conditions, including but not limited to, noninflammatory degenerative joint disease (NIDJD), e.g., osteoarthritis or post-traumatic arthritis, and inflammatory joint disease (IJD), e.g., rheumatoid arthritis. 2. Complex acute fractures, fracture-dislocations of the humeral head, malunion or nonunion of a small osteoporotic head fragment, chronic, recurrent or acute dislocation with loss of humeral head cartilage, or large impression fractures. 3. Those patients with failed previous surgery where pain, deformity, or dysfunction persists. 4. Failed previous surgery, including joint reconstruction, internal fixation, nonunion of the humeral neck, arthrodesis or hemiarthroplasty. 5. Cuff tear arthropathy. 6. Avascular necrosis or osteonecrosis of the humeral head. 7. Tumor resection.

## Device Story

Glenoid prosthesis; one-piece polyethylene design; replaces natural glenoid surface in total shoulder arthroplasty. Implanted via bone cement into subchondral bone; provides 1-2 mm cement mantle. Features curved articulating surface; two grooved pegs with dovetail cement grooves for stability/fixation; pegs trimmable intraoperatively for shallow glenoid vaults. Titanium x-ray marker pins included for postoperative evaluation. Used in clinical setting by orthopedic surgeons. Nonconstrained articulating geometry allows range of motion and translation. Benefits patient by restoring joint function and reducing pain associated with degenerative or traumatic shoulder conditions.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Contact area testing performed to evaluate performance at various levels of abduction, demonstrating adequate contact area.

## Technological Characteristics

Polyethylene (ASTM F648) glenoid component; titanium (ASTM F136) x-ray marker pins. Nonconstrained articulating geometry. Pegged fixation with dovetail cement grooves. Cemented implantation.

## Regulatory Identification

A shoulder joint metal/polymer non-constrained cemented prosthesis is a device intended to be implanted to replace a shoulder joint. The device limits minimally (less than normal anatomic constraints) translation in one or more planes. It has no linkage across-the-joint. This generic type of device includes prostheses that have a humeral 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).

Common/Usual Name: Glenoid prosthesis

Trade/Proprietary: Select® Shoulder Curved Back Pegged All-Poly Glenoids

## Product Description/Substantial Equivalence:

The Curved-back Pegged All-Poly Glenoid is a one piece, polyethylene (ASTM F648) design intended to reproduce the function of the natural glenoid. The design is such that the component may be used in either the right or left shoulder. The implant is cemented into the subchondral bone of the glenoid cavity providing a cement mantle of approximately 1-2 mm.

This design features a curved articulating surface. The underside of the component has two grooved pegs bounded by two dovetail cement grooves which provide translational and rotational stability to the implant as well as to enhance cement fixation. The grooves in the pegs also allow the surgeon to intraoperatively trim the length in the event that the glenoid vault is shallow and prevents the full length from being seated. Titanium (ASTM F136) x-ray marker pins are incorporated in the superior and inferior aspects of the component to assist in postoperative evaluation. The lateral surface of the glenoid component accommodates the humeral head. The articulating geometry is nonconstrained for greater range of motion and greater translation.

Contact area testing indicates that the Curved-back Pegged All-Poly Glenoids offer adequate contact area at various levels of abduction.

The designs are substantially equivalent to the Select Shoulder Pegged All-Poly Glenoids and Keeled All-Poly Glenoids as well as those glenoids used in the Orthomet/3M Modular Neer II Shoulder System, the Zimmer Fenlin Total Shoulder, the Smith & Nephew Richards Cofield
