It is designed to better fill the patient's natural femoral canal by modifying parameters such as A-P diameter, lateral flare, and posterior bowing. Because each stem is custom-matched to the patient's anatomy, the device is manufactured within a defined geometric envelope rather than as a standard off-the-shelf product. It is intended for use by orthopedic surgeons in a clinical/surgical setting to replace a diseased hip joint, potentially improving anatomical fit and patient outcomes. The device is implanted during primary hip replacement surgery. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is supported by mechanical testing and engineering analysis. ## Technological Characteristics Uncemented, porous-coated, semi-constrained hip joint prosthesis. Materials, design, and processing are identical or similar to the predicate device. The device is customized to patient anatomy within a defined geometric envelope. ## Regulatory Identification A hip joint metal/polymer/metal semi-constrained porous-coated uncemented 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 has a femoral component made of a cobalt-chromium-molybdenum (Co-Cr-Mo) alloy or a titanium-aluminum-vanadium (Ti-6Al-4V) alloy and an acetabular component composed of an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene articulating bearing surface fixed in a metal shell made of Co-Cr-Mo or Ti-6Al-4V. The femoral stem and acetabular shell have a porous coating made of, in the case of Co-Cr-Mo substrates, beads of the same alloy, and in the case of Ti-6Al-4V substrates, fibers of commercially pure titanium or Ti-6Al-4V alloy. The porous coating has a volume porosity between 30 and 70 percent, an average pore size between 100 and 1,000 microns, interconnecting porosity, and a porous coating thickness between 500 and 1,500 microns. The generic type of device has a design to achieve biological fixation to bone without the use of bone cement. ## Predicate Devices - PMI Hip Femoral ([K923452](/device/K923452.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

FEB 0 5 2003 Contact Person: Patricia Sandborn Beres Senior Requlatory Specialist Proprietary Name: HA PMI Femoral Hip Stem Common Name: Hip replacement prosthesis Classification Name: Hip ioint metal/polmer/metal semi-constrained, porouscoated, uncemented prosthesis (21 C.F.R. 888.3358) Legally Marketed Devices To Which Substantial Equivalence Is Claimed: The PMI Hip Femoral - 510(k) K923452. Device Description: A surgeon will request a PMI hip stem over a standard line product in order to better fill the patient's natural femoral canal. The most common parameters modified include the expansion of the A-P diameter, the increase of the lateral flare of the device and the posterior bowing of the stem. The resulting device will more closely match the patient's natural anatomy. Since each stem is matched to a particular patient, a specific device description is unavailable. Instead, an envelope has been defined which all devices must fit. Intended Use: Non-cemented use for skeletally mature patients undergoing primary hip replacement surgery as a result of non-inflammatory degenerative ioint disease. Summary of Technologies: The HA PMI Hip Femoral Stems are similar to or identical in materials, design, sizing and processing to the predicate device. Non-Clinical Testing: Mechanical testing and engineering analysis has justified the modifications to this device. Clinical Testing: None provided MAILING ADDRESS P.O.
