Intended Use
The Kerboull Cross is intended to be used to reconstruct the acetabulum in primary and/or revision total hip arthroplasty. Specifically, this device is used to reinforce the medial wall of the acetabulum to achieve stable fixation of the acetabular component in the presence of a deficient or weakened medial wall caused by severe inflammatory disease, fracture of the medial wall, or failed total hip arthroplasty.
Device Story
Kerboull Cross is a hemi-spherical metal shell designed for acetabular reconstruction in total hip arthroplasty. Device features integrated flanges and screw holes to facilitate stable fixation of acetabular components. Used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical settings to reinforce weakened or deficient medial acetabular walls. Provides structural support to ensure stable fixation of prosthetic components in complex revision or primary cases. Available in multiple outer diameters to accommodate varying patient anatomy.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Hemi-spherical metal shell; materials include Stainless Steel, Vitallium, and Titanium alloy. Features integrated flanges and screw holes. Dimensions vary by outer diameter to fit anatomical requirements.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients undergoing primary or revision total hip arthroplasty requiring acetabular reconstruction due to medial wall deficiency or weakness resulting from severe inflammatory disease, fracture, or failed prior arthroplasty.
Regulatory Classification
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).

The Kerboull Cross is intended to be used to reconstruct the acetabulum in primary and/or revision total hip arthroplasty. Specifically, this device is used to reinforce the medial wall of the acetabulum to achieve stable fixation of the acetabular component in the presence of a deficient or weakened medial wall caused by severe inflammatory disease, fracture of the medial wall, or failed total hip arthroplasty.
This device will be manufactured in three materials; Stainless Steel, Vitallium, and Titanium alloy.
The Kerboull Cross is a hemi-spherical, metal shell that incorporates several flanges and screw holes and is shaped to fit into the acetabulum. These devices are available in a range a outer diameters to fit varying anatomical requirements.
The substantial equivalence of the Kerboull Cross is based on an equivalence in intended use, materials, design, and relative indications and contraindications to Depuy's Protrusio Cage (K962007).
