This device is intended to replace the acetabulum during total hip arthroplasty and may be implanted with or without bone cement. Diagnostic indications for use of this device include: - revision of a previously implanted acetabular prosthesis; - patient conditions of noninflammatory degenerative joint disease; e.g., avascular necrosis, osteoarthritis, or arthritis secondary to a variety of diseases and anomalies; and, - inflammatory joint disease; e.g., rheumatoid arthritis. ## Device Story Hemispherical metal acetabular shell; Ti-6Al-4V alloy; Cancellous Structured Titanium (CSTI) coating; used with snap-in UHMWPE insert. Features nine screwholes for fixation in ilium, ischium, or pubis; includes sealable plugs to prevent fibrous tissue ingrowth, cement extrusion, or debris migration. Implanted by orthopedic surgeons during total hip arthroplasty; cementless or cemented application. Locking mechanism secures insert to shell. Benefits include improved fixation, debris containment, and versatility in revision scenarios. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. Integrity of the locking mechanism between the acetabular shell and insert was evaluated via mechanical testing to ensure attachment strength is comparable to predicate devices. ## Technological Characteristics Hemispherical shell; Ti-6Al-4V alloy; Cancellous Structured Titanium (CSTI) porous coating; UHMWPE snap-in insert. Features nine sealable screwholes. Mechanical locking mechanism for insert retention. Non-software device. ## 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 - APR Acetabular Shell (Sulzer Orthopedics Inc.) - S-ROM ZTT II Acetabular Shell with Apical Hole Plug (Johnson & Johnson Orthopedics) - P.F.C.

The shell is manufactured from Ti-6Al-4V alloy and coated with Cancellous Structured Titanium™ (CSTI™). The insert is manufactured from ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) and is available in standard, hooded and hooded protrusio designs in order to address various clinical situations. The Revision Shell with Sealable Screwholes is designed for screw application with nine screwholes allowing for screw placement into the ilium, ischium and pubis. Furthermore, those screwholes that are not utilized may be plugged after implantation thus limiting the potential for fibrous tissue growth into the shell upon cementless implantation or cement extrusion into the shell upon cemented application. Additionally, if wear of the polyethylene acetabular insert occurs, the hole plugs restrict the debris from migrating through the acetabular shell holes into the acetabulum. The integrity of the locking mechanism of the Revision Shell was investigated by examining the attachment strength between the acetabular shell and acetabular insert. The strength of the locking mechanism compares favorably to other currently marketed devices. {1} 112 2 # DIAGNOSTIC INDICATIONS This device is intended to replace the acetabulum during total hip arthroplasty and may be implanted with or without bone cement.
