Intended Use
1. Noninflammatory degenerative joint disease including osteoarthritis and avascular necrosis. 2. Rheumatoid arthritis. 3. Correction of functional deformity. 4. Treatment of non-union, femoral neck fracture, and trochanteric fractures of the proximal femur with head involvement, unmanageable using other techniques. 5. Revision of previously failed total hip arthroplasty. The Altra™ Press-Fit Hip System is intended for uncemented use only.
Device Story
Altra™ Press-Fit Hip System is a femoral hip stem prosthesis; manufactured from Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy; designed for uncemented fixation in total hip arthroplasty. Device implanted by orthopedic surgeons in clinical/hospital settings to replace diseased or damaged femoral head/neck. System utilizes Biomet Type I Taper for component connection. Provides structural support for hip joint; restores joint function; alleviates pain associated with degenerative conditions or fractures. Mechanical performance verified via bench testing.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Substantial equivalence supported by mechanical bench testing.
Technological Characteristics
Material: Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy (ASTM F-136). Design: Hip stem for uncemented use. Connection: Biomet Type I Taper. No software or electronic components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients with noninflammatory degenerative joint disease (osteoarthritis, avascular necrosis), rheumatoid arthritis, functional deformity, or proximal femur fractures (non-union, femoral neck, trochanteric) requiring surgical intervention, and for revision of failed total hip arthroplasty.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A hip joint metal/metal semi-constrained, with an uncemented acetabular component, prosthesis is a two-part 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 includes prostheses that consist of a femoral and an acetabular component, both made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum. The femoral component is intended to be fixed with bone cement. The acetabular component is intended for use without bone cement (§ 888.3027).
