## Intended Use

1. Hip arthritis caused by rheumatoid disease, noninflammatory degenerative joint disease, or from biologic or mechanical trauma to the hip. 2. Correction of functional deformity. 3. Treatment of nonunions, femoral neck and trochanteric fractures of the proximal femur. 4. Difficult clinical management problems involving persistent pain and physical impairment where conventional arthrodesis is not likely to achieve satisfactory results.

## Device Story

Provident Hip System is a hip prosthesis used for total hip arthroplasty. It replaces damaged or diseased hip joint components to restore function and alleviate pain. The device is implanted by an orthopedic surgeon in a clinical/hospital setting. It functions as a mechanical replacement for the femoral head and/or acetabulum. The system is intended for patients suffering from arthritis, fractures, or nonunions. Clinical benefit includes pain relief, correction of deformity, and restoration of joint mobility.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; bench testing only.

## Technological Characteristics

Hip prosthesis system. Materials and design are consistent with standard orthopedic hip implants. Mechanical fixation/articulation principle. No software or electronic components.

## Regulatory Identification

A hip joint femoral (hemi-hip) metallic cemented or uncemented prosthesis is a device intended to be implanted to replace a portion of the hip joint. This generic type of device includes prostheses that have a femoral component made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum. This generic type of device includes designs which are intended to be fixed to the bone with bone cement (§ 888.3027) as well as designs which have large window-like holes in the stem of the device and which are intended for use without bone cement. However, in these latter designs, fixation of the device is not achieved by means of bone ingrowth.
