The subject acetabular liners are single-use devices intended for use in total hip replacement. They are intended for mechanical assembly to predicate Trident® series acetabular shells. (The predicate Trident® series shells are intended for cementless fixation.)
Device Story
Trident® Elevated Rim Liners are acetabular components for total hip replacement; designed as a line extension to the existing Trident® Acetabular System. Liners feature an elevated superior rim to provide increased resistance to dislocation during high flexion/adduction angles. Manufactured from Crossfire® polyethylene; intended for mechanical assembly into predicate Trident® cementless acetabular shells. Used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical settings. Engineering analysis and hip wear simulator testing demonstrate safety and effectiveness comparable to predicate liners.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Evidence consists of engineering analysis and hip wear simulator testing of a similar cup liner to demonstrate comparable safety and effectiveness to predicate devices.
Technological Characteristics
Material: Crossfire® polyethylene. Design: Acetabular liner with elevated superior rim. Assembly: Mechanical fixation to Trident® cementless acetabular shells. Sterilization: Not specified. Connectivity: None (mechanical implant).
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients with painful, disabling hip joint disease due to degenerative, rheumatoid, or post-traumatic arthritis, or late-stage avascular necrosis; revision of failed femoral head replacement, cup arthroplasty, or other procedures; clinical management where arthrodesis or alternative reconstructive techniques are less likely to achieve satisfactory results; or cases where bone stock is of poor quality or inadequate for other reconstructive techniques due to acetabular deficiencies.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A hip joint metal/polymer/metal semi-constrained porous-coated uncemented prosthesis is a device intended to be implanted to replace a hip joint. The device limits translation and rotation in one or more planes via the geometry of its articulating surfaces. It has no linkage across the joint. This generic type of device has a femoral component made of a cobalt-chromium-molybdenum (Co-Cr-Mo) alloy or a titanium-aluminum-vanadium (Ti-6Al-4V) alloy and an acetabular component composed of an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene articulating bearing surface fixed in a metal shell made of Co-Cr-Mo or Ti-6Al-4V. The femoral stem and acetabular shell have a porous coating made of, in the case of Co-Cr-Mo substrates, beads of the same alloy, and in the case of Ti-6Al-4V substrates, fibers of commercially pure titanium or Ti-6Al-4V alloy. 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. The generic type of device has a design to achieve biological fixation to bone without the use of bone cement.

resistance to dislocation during high flexion/adduction angles. The subject liners will also be offered in five new sizes. The subject liners, like the predicate liners, are manufactured using Crossfire® polyethylene.
### Intended Use
The subject acetabular liners are single-use devices intended for use in total hip replacement. They are intended for mechanical assembly to predicate Trident® series acetabular shells. (The predicate Trident® series shells are intended for cementless fixation.)
#### Indications:
- Painful, disabling joint disease of the hip resulting from: degenerative arthritis, rheumatoid . arthritis, post-traumatic arthritis, or late stage avascular necrosis.
- Revision of previous failed femoral head replacement, cup arthroplasty or other procedure. ●
- Clinical management problems where arthrodesis or alternative reconstructive techniques are ● less likely to achieve satisfactory results.
- Where bone stock is of poor quality or is inadequate for other reconstructive techniques as . indicated by deficiencies of the acetabulum.
#### Testing Summary
Engineering analysis was employed to ensure that the risk of cam-out for the subject device is less than the risk associated with predicate devices. Hip wear simulator testing of a similar cup liner was used to demonstrate the comparable safety and effectiveness of the thinner liners in the subiect series to the predicate devices.
