## Intended Use

The Trident® Acetabular Hip System Polyethylene inserts are intended for use with the mating Trident Acetabular Shells. The Trident Acetabular Shells are intended for cementless fixation. The Trident® Hip System components are for use in total hip arthroplasty to relieve pain and restore function for indications such as: painful, disabling joint disease of the hip resulting from: non-inflammatory degenerative arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, post-traumatic arthritis, or late stage avascular necrosis; revision of previous failed femoral head replacement, cup arthroplasty or other procedure; clinical management problems where arthrodesis or alternative reconstructive techniques are less likely to achieve satisfactory results, where bone stock is of poor quality or inadequate for other reconstructive techniques as indicated by deficiencies of the acetabulum.

## Device Story

Trident® Hip System acetabular inserts replace bearing surfaces in total hip arthroplasty; relieves pain and restores function. Modification involves sequentially crosslinked and annealed polyethylene material sterilized via STERRAD gas plasma. Components mate with Trident® Acetabular Shells for cementless fixation. Used in clinical settings by orthopedic surgeons. Output is a mechanical bearing surface; clinical decision-making relies on surgeon assessment of joint disease and bone stock. Benefits include improved wear characteristics and stability for patients with degenerative bone disease, trauma, or failed prior implants.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. Testing included material properties, wear testing, sterilization effects, dimensional assessment, disassembly force evaluation, and contact stress analysis.

## Technological Characteristics

Acetabular inserts for total hip arthroplasty. Material: Sequentially crosslinked and annealed polyethylene. Sterilization: STERRAD gas plasma. Design: Semi-constrained, porous-coated uncemented prosthesis. Connectivity: None (mechanical implant).

## 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.

| Device Description:    | The device includes the acetabular inserts of a total hip<br>system. These components are used for the replacement of<br>the bearing surface of the acetabulum to relieve pain,<br>instability and the restriction of motion due to degenerative<br>bone disease, including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis,<br>failure of other devices or trauma.                                                                                                         |
| Summary of Data:       | A risk analysis and research and development testing have<br>been performed to demonstrate equivalence of the proposed<br>products to the predicate devices. The testing includes<br>material properties testing; wear testing; the effect of<br>sterilization on the sequentially crosslinked and annealed<br>material; dimensional assessment of the sequentially<br>crosslinked and annealed material; disassembly force<br>evaluation; and contact stresses. |
