V. Indications for Use
The Mpact 3D Metal implants are designed for cementless use in total hip arthroplasty in primary or revision surgery.
The patient should be skeletally mature.
The patient's condition should be due to one or more of:
- Severely painful and/or disabled joint: as a result of osteoarthritis, post-traumatic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis or psoriatic arthritis, congenital hip dysplasia, ankylosing spondylitis.
- Avascular necrosis of the femoral head.
- Acute traumatic fracture of the femoral head or neck.
- Failure of previous hip surgery: joint reconstruction, internal fixation, arthrodesis, hemiarthroplasty, surface replacement arthroplasty, or total hip replacement where sufficient bone stock is present.
VI. Comparison of Technological Characteristics
The subject and predicate devices (K202568) are similar with respect to the following characteristics:
- Design;
- Fixation;
- Material;
- Biocompatibility;
- Device usage;
- Packaging;
- Sterilization; and
- Shelf-life.
The subject devices differ from the predicate devices (K202568) with respect to:
- Range of product sizes;
- Liners' compatibility;
- Manufacturing process; and
- Pyramidal net height.
Discussion
The subject devices have been designed to increase the sizes of liners they can be combined with, in order to optimize the head/shell ratio and potentially decrease the risk of head dislocation, due to a higher jumping distance. This difference does not raise any new issue of safety and effectiveness since it is shared with the additional predicate devices (K230011).
No new issue with respect to safety and effectiveness arise due to the partially different manufacturing process since the chemicals/agents are identical and the mechanical performance was found to be acceptable as demonstrated by mechanical testing.

§ 888.3358 Hip joint metal/polymer/metal semi-constrained porous-coated uncemented prosthesis.
(a)
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.(b)
Classification. Class II.
