Intended Use
Femoral replacement in Oncology cases where radical resection and replacement of bone is required, and in limb salvage procedures where radical resection and replacement of bone is required. Limb salvage procedures would include surgical intervention for severe trauma, failed previous prosthesis, and/or Oncology indications. This component may also be used with the Distal Femoral segment components of the GMRS™ in total femoral replacement.
Device Story
GMRS Anteverted Proximal Femoral Component is a modular orthopedic implant for limb salvage and oncology-related femoral replacement. Device provides 15 degrees of anteversion to improve anatomical fit when used with bowed press-fit stems. Implanted by orthopedic surgeons in clinical/surgical settings. Device serves as a structural replacement for resected bone; integrates with existing GMRS modular system components (connection pieces, extension pieces, press-fit stems). Benefits include restoration of skeletal function and stability in patients with compromised bone stock. Operates via mechanical fixation (cemented or press-fit) to remaining femoral bone.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is based on design analysis and bench testing comparisons to the predicate GMRS system.
Indicated for patients requiring femoral bone resection and replacement due to oncology, severe trauma, or failed previous prosthesis. Contraindicated in patients with local/distant tumor spread, active/latent hip joint infection, or neuromuscular/mental disorders risking prosthesis instability/fixation failure.
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.

## Contraindications
#### As Related to Bone Tumors A.
Not all bone tumors may be treated successfully by segmental resection. Any condition that may have already resulted in either local or distant spread of the tumor may be a contraindication. Examples of such conditions include:
- pathological fracture; .
- . overt infection;
- . inopportune placement of biopsy incision; and,
- rapid disease progression beyond a respectable margin. .
- B. As related to Failed Previous Prosthesis and Trauma
- Any active or suspected latent infection in or about the hip joint. .
- Any mental or neuromuscular disorder which would create an unacceptable risk of . prosthesis instability, prosthesis fixation failure, or complication in postoperative care.
- . Bone stock compromised by disease, infection, or prior implantation that cannot provide adequate support and fixation of the prosthesis.
The Proximal Femoral Module of the GMRS™ is intended to be used in a cemented or press fit mode.
## Device Description
It is the intention of Howmedica Osteonics Corp. to offer GMRS™ Proximal Femoral Components in an anteverted style, so both the standard and trochanteric versions will be available in left and right orientations. These new GMRSTM Proximal Femoral Components offer 15 degrees of anteversion.
The current GMRS™ proximal femoral components have the axis of their femoral neck perpendicular to the center plane of the slot formed by the two anti-rotation tabs when viewed from the distal-to-proximal direction. The subject GMRS™ anteverted proximal femoral components have the axis of their femoral neck at 75 or 105 degrees to the center

plane of the slot formed by the two anti-rotation tabs when viewed from the distal-toproximal direction. The difference in the degrees of rotation from the currently available component is 15 degrees, which provides 15 degrees of anteversion (left or right) when implanted with the bowed press-fit stems.
The following design features are common to the new Anteverted Proximal Femoral Components, and the existing GMRS™ Proximal Femoral Components:
- . These components are each available in one size.
- These components are fabricated from cast cobalt-chromium alloy that meets the . requirements of ASTM standard F-75.
- 5 degree 40 minute taper angle to accept Howmedica Osteonics' modular femoral . heads with the same taper
- . 70mm replacement length
- . porous coating and suture holes in the A-P direction for tissue attachment
- . threaded insertion feature on the shoulder to allow for the use of an insertion instrument
- . 26mm distal diameter
- 34mm head-neck offset .
The GMRS™ Trochanteric Proximal Femoral Component has increased material in the region of the greater trochanter for surgeons who prefer an anatomically shaped component.
The Standard and Trochanteric Proximal Femoral Components of the GMRS™ may be used with the GMRS™ Connection Pieces, Extension Pieces and the Press Fit Stems with PureFix™ HA Coating in proximal femoral replacement. These products may also be used with the MRS Body components, and modular stems in proximal femoral replacement.
