Hip components are also indicated for inflammatory degenerative joint disease including rheumatoid arthritis, arthritis secondary to a variety of diseases and anomalies, and congenital dysplasia; treatments of nonunion, femoral neck fracture and trochanteric fractures of the proximal femur with head involvement that are unmanageable using other techniques; endoprosthesis, 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. ## Device Story Smith & Nephew SMF Hip Stem is a straight, tapered, proximally loaded femoral stem; monoblock design; fixed 12/14 neck taper for femoral head attachment. Manufactured from Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy; features Stiktite porous coating for proximal fixation; distal tip includes glass bead finish. Intended for uncemented implantation in primary or revision hip arthroplasty. Used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical/OR settings. Provides structural support for hip joint reconstruction; restores joint function; alleviates pain associated with degenerative or traumatic hip conditions. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Fatigue strength testing conducted per FDA guidance documents for orthopaedic implants with modified metallic surfaces, non-articulating modular components, and femoral stem prostheses. ## Technological Characteristics Material: Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy. Design: Straight, tapered, proximally loaded monoblock femoral stem. Features: Stiktite porous coating, 12/14 neck taper, medial grit-blasted finish, glass bead distal tip. Sizes: 1-9. Configuration: Standard and high offset options. Sterilization: Not specified. 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. ## Predicate Devices - SMF Hip Stems ([K103256](/device/K103256.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Williams Senior Regulatory Affairs Specialist Smith & Nephew, Inc. 7135 Goodlett Farms Parkway Cordova, TN 38016 (901) 399-5161 Name of Device: Smith & Nephew SMF® Hip Stem Common Name: Hip Stem Device Classification Name and Reference: 21 CFR 888.3358 Hip joint metal/polymer/metal semiconstrained porous-coated uncemented prosthesis Device Class: II Panel Code: Orthopaedics/87 LPH #### Device Description The Smith & Nephew SMP Hip Stem is a straight, tapered, proximally loaded stem designed to match the geometry of the femur. The subject monoblock SMF° femoral stem line additions are offered in sizes 1 - 9. 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 SMF® monoblock femoral stems are manufactured from titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) and are proximally coated with Smith & Nephew's Stiktite porous coating. #### Intended Use Hip components are indicated for.individuals undergoing primary and revision surgery where other treatments or devices have failed in rehabilitating hips damaged as a result of trauma or noninflammatory degenerative joint disease (NIDJD) or any of its composite diagnoses of osteoarthritis, avascular necrosis, traumatic arthritis, slipped capital epiphysis, fused hip, fracture of the pelvis, and diastrophic variant. Hip components are also indicated for inflammatory degenerative joint disease including rheumatoid arthritis, arthritis secondary to a variety of diseases and anomalies, and congenital dysplasia; treatments of nonunion, femoral neck fracture and trochanteric fractures of the proximal femur with head involvement that are unmanageable using other techniques; endoprosthesis, femoral osteotomy, or Girdlestone resection; fracture-dislocation of the hip; and correction of deformity. Smith & Nephew SMP 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: {1}------------------------------------------------ - 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. ### Substantial Equivalence Information The materials, intended use, indications for use, sterilization, and overall design of the Smith & Nephew SMF° Hip Stem line additions are substantially equivalent to the SMP Hip Stems cleared in premarket notification K103256. 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 SMF® Hip Stem
