Intended Use
The Global Modular Replacement System (referred to from this point on as the GMRS) Press Fit Stems with PureFix® HA Coating are intended to be used with components of the proximal femoral segment of the Howmedica Modular Replacement System (referred to from this point on as the MRS) in total hip arthroplasty. These devices are intended for use in total hip arthroplasty indicated as a result of extensive proximal femoral bone loss (from trauma, failed previous arthroplasty, or tumor resection). Adequate bone stock must be present to allow the use of the GMRS Press Fit Stems with PureFix® HA Coating.
Device Story
GMRS Press Fit Stems are modular orthopedic implants for proximal femoral reconstruction. Machined from titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) with CP titanium plasma spray and PureFix® HA coating. Available in straight, straight-fluted, and curved (150mm/200mm) styles. Proximal end features a 2-degree 52-minute male taper for connection to MRS proximal femoral components. Used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical settings for patients with significant bone loss. Provides structural support and fixation to restore hip function. Implanted via press-fit technique; relies on adequate host bone stock for stability.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence established via finite element analysis and mechanical performance testing.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: Titanium alloy (ASTM F-136), CP titanium plasma spray (ASTM F-1580), PureFix® HA coating (ASTM F-1185). Design: Modular femoral stem with male taper (2 deg 52 min). Styles: Straight, straight-fluted, curved (150mm/200mm). Fixation: Press-fit (uncemented).
Indications for Use
Indicated for proximal femoral reconstruction in patients requiring total hip arthroplasty due to extensive proximal femoral bone loss resulting from trauma, failed previous arthroplasty, or tumor resection. Contraindicated in patients with overt infection, rapid disease progression, or inadequate bone stock for press fit fixation.
Regulatory Classification
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.

#### Indications
Proximal femoral reconstruction secondary to:
- Trauma
- Failed previous prosthesis .
- Tumor resection .
#### Contraindications
- Overt infection .
- Rapid disease progression beyond an acceptable margin .
For the use of GMRS Press Fit stems with PureFix® HA Coating, the following additional contraindication should be noted:
- . Inadequate bone stock to allow the use of a press fit stem
#### Device Description
The GMRS Press Fit Stems with PureFix® HA Coating are machined from titanium alloy (Titanium-6Aluminum-4Vanadium) which meets the requirements of ASTM standard F-136. The stems are coated with commercially pure titanium (CP titanium) plasma spray coating that conforms to ASTM specification F-1580. The proximal portion of the stem is also coated with PureFix® HA coating which meets ASTM specification F-1185.
The proximal portion of the stem incorporates a male taper with a taper angle of 2 degrees 52 minutes. This male taper mates with the female taper portion of the head/neck section or body section of the proximal femoral section of the Modular Replacement System.
The GMRS Press Fit Stems with PureFix® HA Coating are available in four styles:
- I Straight Stems: These stems are available in a 125mm length, and diameters from 11mm to 19mm in one millimeter increments. The seat diameter varies from 22 to 36mm, and the seat radius ranges from 8mm to 9.25mm.
