## Intended Use

All Exactech Hip Systems are indicated for use in skeletally mature individuals undergoing primary surgery for hip replacement due to osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, osteonecrosis, post-traumatic degenerative problems of the hip, and for treatment of proximal femoral fractures where prosthetic replacement is determined by the surgeon as the preferred treatment. Components of Exactech Hip Systems are also potentially indicated for ankylosing spondylitis, congenital hip dysplasia, revision of failed previous reconstructions where sufficient bone stock is present, and to restore mobility resulting from previous fusion.

## Device Story

Exactech 12/14 Alumina Femoral Heads are orthopedic prosthetic components used in hip replacement surgery. This modification introduces 36 mm diameter femoral heads in three neck lengths (-3.5, 0, +3.5 mm). The device is implanted by orthopedic surgeons in a clinical/hospital setting during primary or revision hip arthroplasty. The femoral head articulates with the acetabular component to restore hip joint function and mobility. Clinical benefit is derived from replacing damaged or diseased bone/joint surfaces, thereby reducing pain and improving patient mobility. The device is intended for use in skeletally mature patients.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. Performance verified through engineering evaluations and empirical testing to ensure adequacy for in vivo use.

## Technological Characteristics

Alumina ceramic femoral head components. 12/14 taper interface. 36 mm outside diameter. Available in three neck lengths (-3.5, 0, +3.5 mm). Semi-constrained prosthesis design. Class II device (21 CFR 888.3353).

## Regulatory Identification

A hip joint metal/ceramic/polymer semi-constrained cemented or nonporous uncemented prosthesis is a device intended to be implanted to replace a hip joint. This device limits translation and rotation in one or more planes via the geometry of its articulating surfaces. It has no linkage across-the-joint. The two-part femoral component consists of a femoral stem made of alloys to be fixed in the intramedullary canal of the femur by impaction with or without use of bone cement. The proximal end of the femoral stem is tapered with a surface that ensures positive locking with the spherical ceramic (aluminium oxide, A12 03 ) head of the femoral component. The acetabular component is made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene or ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene reinforced with nonporous metal alloys, and used with or without bone cement.

#### INDICATIONS

All Exactech Hip Systems are indicated for use in skeletally mature individuals undergoing primary surgery for hip replacement due to osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, osteonecrosis, post-traumatic degenerative problems of the hip, and for treatment of proximal fractures where prosthetic replacement is determined by the surgeon as the preferred treatment. Components of Exactech Hip Systems are also potentially indicated for ankylosing spondylitis, congenital hip dysplasia, revision of failed previous reconstructions where sufficient bone stock is present, and to restore mobility resulting from previous fusion.

#### Special 510(k) Modifications

- Addition of 36 mm outside diameter size femoral head components in three different . head lengths (-3.5, 0 +3.5 mm)
#### Conclusion:

Testing and engineering evaluations were conducted to verify that the performance of the new Exactech AcuMatch 12/14 Press-Fit Femoral Stem components would be adequate for anticipated in vivo use. This includes empirical testing and engineering analyses. Based on successful results we conclude that the proposed devices are substantially equivalent to Exactech's predicate femoral stems.
