## Intended Use

The Osteonics® Extended Femoral Bearing Heads are indicated for single-use in patients requiring either a Total Hip Replacement or a Hemi- or Bipolar Hip Replacement. The Osteonics® Extended Femoral Bearing Heads are intended to be used with a specific listing of Osteonics® femoral stems identified in Attachment 1 and are designed to accommodate a patient population requiring the extended offset in order to restore ligamentous balance.

## Device Story

Modular femoral bearing head; spherical design; 22, 26, 28, 32mm diameters; +12.5mm and +15mm neck extensions. Input: mechanical interface with compatible Osteonics femoral stems via Morse or C-Taper configurations. Operation: provides extended offset to restore ligamentous balance in hip arthroplasty. Output: physical bearing surface for hip joint articulation. Used in surgical settings by orthopedic surgeons. Benefits: restores joint stability and function in patients with hip disease or trauma requiring specific offset geometry.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. No clinical data provided.

## Technological Characteristics

Material: ASTM F-799 Cobalt chromium alloy. Configurations: Morse Taper and European (C-Taper) female tapers. Diameters: 22, 26, 28, 32mm. Extensions: +12.5mm, +15mm. Surface: Highly polished, optional nitrogen ion treatment. Mechanical device; no software or energy source.

## 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.

## Predicate Devices

- Osteonics® Morse Taper Heads
- Osteonics® C-Taper Heads
- DePuy Articule-Eze® Total Hip Balls

Osteonics® Extended Femoral Bearing Head

Modular Femoral Bearing Head

Hip Joint, Metal/Polymer, Semi-constrained, Cemented Prosthesis 21 CFR §888.3350

## Predicate Device Identification:

The Osteonics® Extended Femoral Bearing Heads are substantially equivalent to the following predicate devices: The Osteonics® Morse Taper Heads, the Osteonics® C-Taper Heads, and the DePuy Articule-Eze® Total Hip Balls.

#### Description of Devices:

The Osteonics® Extended Femoral Bearing Heads are ASTM F-799 Cobalt chromium alloy devices available in two female taper configurations, a Morse Taper and a European Taper (Osteonics` trade name "C-Taper"). The devices are spherical in design and are available in 22, 26, 28, and 32mm diameters with +12.5mm and +15mm neck extensions. The outer surface of the Osteonics® Extended Femoral Bearing Heads are highly polished and are available both with and without nitrogen ion surface treatment.

{1}------------------------------------------------

## Intended Use:

The Osteonics® Extended Femoral Bearing Heads are indicated for single-use in patients requiring either a Total Hip Replacement or a Hemi- or Bipolar Hip Replacement. The Osteonics® Extended Femoral Bearing Heads are intended to be used with a specific listing of Osteonics® femoral stems identified in Attachment 1 and are designed to accommodate a patient population requiring the extended offset in order to restore ligamentous balance.

## Statement of Technological Comparison:

The design, materials, and intended use of the Osteonics® Extended Femoral Bearing Heads are substantially equivalent in design, materials and intended use to the predicate Osteonics® Morse Taper Heads, the Osteonics® C-Taper Heads and the DePuy Articule-Eze® Total Hip Balls.

## Performance Data:

The comparison of the Osteonics® Extended Femoral Bearing Head to predicate systems which have been determined to be substantially equivalent through 510(k) premarket notifications demonstrates that no additional performance data are necessary.

# 510(k) Number (if Known): K 9829 36

Device Name: Osteonics® Extended Femoral Bearing Head

#### Indications For Use:

The Osteonics® Extended Femoral Bearing Heads are intended for single use in patients requiring either a Total Hip Replacement or Hemi- or Bipolar Hip Replacement. The Osteonics® Extended Femoral Bearing Heads are designed to accommodate a patient population requiring extended offset provided by a plus 12.5mm or a plus 15mm femoral head option when used in conjunction with the Osteonics® Femoral Stems specified in this submission.

#### Indications:

For use as a Bipolar or Hemi-Hip Replacement:

- · Femoral head/neck fractures or non-unions.
- Aseptic necrosis of the femoral head. ●
- Osteo-, rheumatoid, and post-traumatic arthritis of the hip with minimal . acetabular involvement or distortion.

Other considerations for use as a Bipolar or Hemi-Hip Replacement:

- · Pathological conditions or age considerations which indicate a more conservative acetabular procedure and an avoidance of the use of bone cement in the acetabulum.
- Salvage of failed total hip arthroplasty. .

For use as a Total Hip Replacement:

- · Painful, disabling joint disease of the hip resulting from: degenerative arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, post-traumatic arthritis or late stage avascular necrosis.
- · Revision of previous unsuccessful femoral head replacement, cup arthroplasty or other procedure.
- Clinical management problems where arthrodesis or alternative reconstructive ● techniques are less likely to achieve satisfactory results.
