## Intended Use

The Osteonics® C-Tapered Titanium Stems are single use components. They are intended for cementless fixation within the prepared femoral canals of patients requiring hip arthroplasty. The modified and predicate hip stems are intended to be used in conjunction with any commercially available Osteonics C-Taper femoral bearing head. For use as a total hip replacement, the modified and predicate stems may be used in conjunction with any legally marketed Osteonics acetabular component. The Osteonics® C-Tapered Titanium Stems are manufactured from titanium alloy (ASTM F-620-96). The indications for the Osteonics® C-Tapered Titanium Stems include the following: For Use as a Bipolar 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: - 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.

## Device Story

Osteonics C-Tapered Titanium Stems are orthopedic implants for cementless femoral canal fixation during hip arthroplasty. Device modification involves shortening the trunnion and reducing stem neck diameter; all other design aspects remain identical to predicate devices. Implants are manufactured from titanium alloy (ASTM F-620-96). Used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical settings for total or bipolar hip replacement. Device provides mechanical interlock within the femoral canal; intended for use with Osteonics C-Taper femoral heads and acetabular components. Benefits include restoration of joint function in patients with disabling hip disease or fractures. Mechanical fatigue testing confirms substantial equivalence to predicate designs.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Mechanical fatigue testing was performed to demonstrate substantial equivalence in fatigue strength to predicate stem designs.

## Technological Characteristics

Titanium alloy (ASTM F-620-96) hip prosthesis. Semi-constrained design for cementless fixation. Features a shortened trunnion and reduced neck diameter compared to previous versions. Mechanical interlock fixation principle.

## 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.
