The Trident® Screw Hole Plugs will be used either with or without bone cement depending upon the appropriate surgical application of the Trident® shell. The Trident® Bone Spikes are optional single-use devices that are intended to provide supplemental fixation of the Trident® Porous Titanium Acetabular Shell or the Trident® Porous Titanium Acetabular Shell with Peri-Apatite™ Coating in the prepared acetabulum in total hip arthroplasty. These Trident® Bone Spikes are intended to be used when the above-referenced Trident® acetabular shells are used in a press fit application. ## Device Story Trident® Screw Hole Plugs and Bone Spikes are single-use orthopedic accessories for Trident® acetabular shells. Plugs are threaded CP titanium components inserted into unused screw holes to prevent bone cement intrusion or fibrous tissue ingrowth and debris migration. Bone Spikes are titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V) components with a threaded base and superior spike; they provide supplemental fixation in press-fit applications by anchoring into the prepared acetabular bone. Both devices are installed intraoperatively by a surgeon using a TORX® screwdriver. Plugs are inserted from the shell interior; Bone Spikes are pre-assembled to the shell before placement into the acetabulum. These devices assist in stabilizing the acetabular component, potentially improving long-term fixation and reducing complications associated with open screw holes or inadequate shell seating. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence supported by bench testing. ## Technological Characteristics Trident® Screw Hole Plugs: Commercially pure (CP) titanium, threaded, TORX® recess. Trident® Bone Spikes: Titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V), 7mm and 9mm lengths, threaded base, TORX® recess. Both are single-use, non-sterile (implied), mechanical fixation components. ## Regulatory Identification A hip joint metal/polymer semi-constrained cemented 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 includes prostheses that have a femoral component made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, and an acetabular resurfacing component made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene and is limited to those prostheses intended for use with bone cement (§ 888.3027). ## Reference Devices - Osteonics® Cancellous Bone Screws ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

The Trident® Screw Hole Plugs are intended to be used in situations where the Trident® Porous Titanium Acetabular Components are intended to be used. More specifically, these Trident® Screw Holes Plugs have the following indications and contraindications: ## Indications - In cemented or cementless hip arthroplasty, when a screw hole plug is thought to be . advantageous ### Contraindications - Obesity. An overweight or obese patient can produce loads on the prosthesis which . can lead to failure of the fixation of the device or to failure of the device itself. The Trident® Bone Spikes are optional single-use devices that are intended to provide supplemental fixation of the Trident® Porous Titanium Acetabular Shell or the Trident® Porous Titanium Acetabular Shell with Peri-Apatite™ Coating in the prepared acetabulum in total hip arthroplasty. These Trident® Bone Spikes are intended to be used when the above-referenced Trident® acetabular shells are used in a press fit application. More specifically, these Trident® Bone Spikes have the following indications and contraindications: - Trident® Bone Spikes are intended for supplemental fixation of the Trident® Porous .

The Trident® Screw Hole Plugs are fabricated from commercially pure titanium (CP Titanium). The Trident® Screw Hole Plugs incorporate a recess to accept a TORX® head screwdriver to allow the surgeon to place the desired number of plugs into the Trident® shell intraoperatively. The Trident® Screw Hole Plugs are intended to be inserted from the inside of the Trident® shell. The Trident® Screw Hole Plugs, by occluding the shell screw holes, will help prevent intrusion of bone cement into the shell (when used in the cemented mode) or fibrous tissue (when used in a cementless mode), and potential migration of debris through open screw holes into the acetabulum. The Trident® Bone Spike is fabricated from titanium alloy (Titanium 6 Aluminum 4 Vanadium), and is available in two lengths: 7mm and 9mm. The Trident® Bone Spike has a threaded base that is assembled to the screw hole(s) of the appropriate Trident® shell at the time of surgery. The undersurface of the base incorporates a recess to accept a TORX® screwdriver. The superior portion of the device is a spike that is intended to provide purchase into the prepared bone of the acetabulum. The surgeon has the option of using the Trident® Bone Spike in place of the Osteonics® Cancellous Bone Screws to provide supplemental fixation of the Trident® shell. Testing was presented to support a claim of substantial equivalence. {3}------------------------------------------------ #### DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES Image /page/3/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
