Indications for Use
The Compress® Segmental Humeral Replacement System is intended to replace the resected part of the humerus in cases of severe bone loss in either the proximal or distal humerus. The Compress® Segmental Humeral Replacement System components are intended for uncemented use.
Device Story
The Compress® Segmental Humeral Replacement System is a metallic segmental fixation device designed to replace resected humeral bone segments. It utilizes an integrated spring system within the stem to apply compressive load at the prosthetic-bone interface upon insertion, facilitating uncemented fixation. The system is used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical settings to address severe bone loss resulting from tumor resection, trauma, or failed prior arthroplasty. By providing stable, compressive fixation, the device aims to restore structural integrity to the humerus. It may be used in conjunction with the Discovery Elbow or Modular Hybrid Glenoid components, which typically require bone cement for fixation.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data was performed. Substantial equivalence was demonstrated through non-clinical bench testing, specifically cyclic fatigue testing of the Mini Compress® taper to ten million cycles and taper pull-off strength testing, both of which met acceptance criteria.
Technological Characteristics
Metallic segmental fixation system featuring a spring-loaded stem for compressive load application. Components are designed for uncemented use. Materials include porous titanium (optional pegs). Testing includes cyclic fatigue and pull-off strength. No software or electronic components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring correction or revision of unsuccessful osteotomy, arthrodesis, or previous joint replacement; tumor resections; revision of previously failed total joint arthroplasty; or trauma. Components are for uncemented use. Associated Discovery Elbow and Modular Hybrid Glenoid components are restricted to these indications and intended for cemented use, except for optional porous titanium pegs.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A shoulder joint metal/polymer/metal nonconstrained or semi-constrained porous-coated uncemented prosthesis is a device intended to be implanted to replace a shoulder joint. The device limits movement in one or more planes. It has no linkage across-the-joint. This generic type of device includes prostheses that have a humeral component made of alloys such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum (Co-Cr-Mo) and titanium-aluminum-vanadium (Ti-6Al-4V) alloys, and a glenoid resurfacing component made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, or a combination of an articulating ultra-high molecular weight bearing surface fixed in a metal shell made of alloys such as Co-Cr-Mo and Ti-6Al-4V. The humeral component and glenoid backing have a porous coating made of, in the case of Co-Cr-Mo components, beads of the same alloy or commercially pure titanium powder, and in the case of Ti-6Al-4V components, beads or fibers of commercially pure titanium or Ti-6Al-4V alloy, or commercially pure titanium powder. 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. This generic type of device is designed to achieve biological fixation to bone without the use of bone cement.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The special control for this device is FDA's “Class II Special Controls Guidance: Shoulder Joint Metal/Polymer/Metal Nonconstrained or Semi-Constrained Porous-Coated Uncemented Prosthesis.”
