Smith & Nephew SMF Hip Stem components are intended for single use only and are to be implanted without bone cement. ## Device Story The Smith & Nephew SMF Hip Stem is a straight, tapered, proximally loaded femoral stem prosthesis designed for uncemented total hip arthroplasty. It features a fixed, non-modular neck with a 12/14 taper to accommodate standard Smith & Nephew femoral heads. The device is manufactured from titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) and includes a proximal porous coating (Stiktite) to facilitate bone apposition. It is intended for single-use implantation by orthopedic surgeons in clinical settings. The device provides structural support for the hip joint in patients with degenerative or traumatic hip conditions. By replacing the damaged femoral head and neck, the stem aims to restore joint function and mobility. The subject device represents size additions (-1 and 0) to the existing SMF product line. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Fatigue strength testing was conducted in accordance with FDA guidance documents for orthopaedic implants with modified metallic surfaces and non-articulating modular components. No clinical data was required or provided. ## Technological Characteristics Material: Titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V). Surface: Proximal Stiktite porous coating, medial grit-blasted finish, glass bead distal tip. Geometry: Straight, tapered, proximally loaded. Neck: Fixed, 12/14 taper, standard and high offset options. Energy source: None (mechanical implant). Sterilization: Not specified. ## 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 - S&N SMF Hip Stem with Stiktite ([K080625](/device/K080625.md)) - S&N Anthology Stem ([K052792](/device/K052792.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

The subject devices have fixed, non-modular necks with a 12/14 neck taper to accept currently available Smith & Nephew femoral heads, and are available in standard and high offset. The SMP monobloc femoral stems are manufactured from titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) and are proximally coated with Smith & Nephew's Stiktite porous coating. #### Intended Use Total hip components are indicated for uncemented use in individuals undergoing primary and revision surgery where other treatments or devices have failed in rehabilitating hips damaged as a result of trauma, inflammatory joint disease such as rheumatoid arthritis, or noninflammatory degenerative joint disease (NID) or any of its composite diagnoses such as osteoarthritis; avascular necrosis; traumatic arthritis; slipped capital epiphysis; fused hip; fracture of the pelvis; diastrophic variant; nonunion, femoral neck fracture and trochanteric fractures of the proximal femur with head involvement that are unmanageable using other techniques; femoral osteotomy, or Girdlestone resection; fracture dislocation of the hip; and correction of deformity. Smith & Nephew SMF Hip Stem components are intended for single use only and are to be implanted without bone cement. #### Performance Data Performance testing has been conducted for the subject devices in accordance with the following guidance documents: - Guidance Document for Testing Orthopaedic Implants with Modified Metallic Surfaces Apposing . Bone or Bone Cement, dated April 1994 - Draft Guidance Document for Testing Non-Articulating, "Mechanically Locked" Modular Implant . Components dated May 1995 - Non-Clinical Information for Femoral Stem Prostheses, dated September 2007 . Fatigue strength testing has also been evaluated. A review of testing has demonstrated that there are no new issues related to the safety or effectiveness of the subject devices. {1}------------------------------------------------ ## Substantial Equivalence Information The materials, intended use, indications for use, sterilization, and overall design of the Smith & Nephew SMP Hip Stem line additions are substantially equivalent to the SMP Hip Stems cleared in premarket notification K080625 and the Anthology Hip Stems cleared via K052792. Giving consideration to the device modifications described in the Device Description section, no changes have been made to the overall design philosophy, intended use, and material choices when compared to the predicate devices. | Feature | Subject Size -1 and 0
