## Intended Use

The DePuy Duraloc Acetabular Cup Liners are intended to be used with the DePuy Duraloc metal acetabular shells to resurface the acetabular socket in cemented or cementless total hip replacement

## Device Story

Polyethylene acetabular cup liners; 28mm or 32mm inner diameters; neutral or 10° lip options. Designed for use with Duraloc metal acetabular shells (48-74mm outer diameters). Locked into metal shells via metal wire locking ring. Used by orthopedic surgeons in total hip arthroplasty to resurface acetabular socket. Provides bearing surface for hip joint replacement. Manufactured from crosslinked polyethylene for increased oxidation resistance compared to standard gamma-sterilized UHMWPE.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence based on design identity and material property comparisons.

## Technological Characteristics

Crosslinked polyethylene acetabular liners; metal wire locking mechanism; 28mm/32mm ID; 48-74mm OD compatibility. Designed for cemented or cementless total hip arthroplasty. Mechanical properties comparable to standard UHMWPE with enhanced oxidation resistance.

## 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.

DePuy Modified AML+ Acetabular Cup System

## DEVICE DESCRIPTION AND INTENDED USE:

The subject DePuy Duraloc Acetabular Cup Liners are polyethylene acetabular cup liners which are available with 28mm or 32mm inner diameters, and with a neutral or a 10° lip. The 28mm liners are available in sizes to fit Duraloc metal acctabular shells with outer diameters of 48-74mm. The 32mm liners are available in sizes to fit Duraloc metal acetabular shells with outer diameters of 52-74mm. The Duraloc polyethylene liners are locked into the Duraloc metal shells with a metal wire locking ring which is supplied with the metal shells. The subject polyethylene liners are identical in design to the acetabular cup liners cleared with the Modified DePuy Acetabular Cup System and the DePuy Modified AML+ Acetabular Cup System.

The only difference between the subject Duraloc polyethylene liners and those that have been previously cleared by FDA is that the subject liners are manufactured from crosslinked polyethylene which has physical and mechanical properties that are similar to those of standard UHMWPE but has increased resistance to oxidation compared to gamma radiation sterilized standard UHMWPE.

The DePuy Duraloc Acetabular Cup Liners are intended to be used with the DePuy Duraloc metal acetabular shells to resurface the acetabular socket in cemented or cementless total hip replacement
