§ 888.3353 Hip joint metal/ceramic/polymer semi-constrained cemented or nonporous uncemented prosthesis.
(a)
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.(b)
Classification. Class II.

The subject devices are made of titanium alloy according to ISO 5832-11 and coated with Titanium plasma spray according to ASTM F1580 and Hydroxyapatite according with ASTM F1185.
V. Indications for Use
Mfinity femoral stems are indicated in patients requiring hip arthroplasty.
Hip Arthroplasty
Total or partial hip arthroplasty is indicated in the following cases:
- Severely painful and/or disabled joint as a result of osteoarthritis, post-traumatic arthritis, inflammatory arthritis or hip dysplasia.
- Avascular necrosis of the femoral head.
- Acute fracture of the femoral head.
- Acute fracture of the proximal femur, suitable to be treated by means of hip arthroplasty.
- Non-union of proximal femur fracture, suitable to be treated by means of hip arthroplasty.

- Failure of previous hip surgery:
- Conservative hip surgery.
- Internal fixation.
- Arthrodesis.
- Partial or total hip arthroplasty.
- Hip resurfacing replacement.
VI. Comparison of Technological Characteristics
The subject and predicate devices (K150862, K160907, K210581) are substantially equivalent with respect to the following characteristics:
- Range of product;
- Taper;
- Fixation;
- Biocompatibility;
- Device usage;
- Packaging; and
- Sterilization.
The subject devices differ from the predicate devices (K150862, K160907, K210581) with respect to:
- CCD angle;
- Stem length;
- Neck offset; and
K251166 Page 2 of 4
Page 7
- Materials.
Discussion
The different CCD angles between the subject and predicate devices (K150862, K160907, K210581) does not affect safety and effectiveness since the subject devices' CCD angles are shared with Medacta predicate devices (K192827, K181254).
The partially different stem lengths between the subject and predicate devices (K150862, K160907, K210581) do not introduce any new risk of safety and effectiveness since they are included in the stem lengths of Medacta predicate devices: AMIStem-P (K173794) for the smaller lengths and Quadra-P (K192827, K181254) for the longer lengths.
Slightly bigger neck offset of the subject Mfinity L does not arise any new issue with respect to safety and effectiveness as demonstrated by mechanical evaluations.
The different material of the subject and predicate devices does not introduce new questions of safety and effectiveness since both the substrate material and the Titanium coating of the subject devices are shared with the additional predicate device, Masterloc (K151531).
The comparison of technological characteristics and performance data provided within the submission supports the substantial equivalence of the subject devices respect to the predicate devices.
