Therapeutic indications:

The Pinnacle Sector Acetabular Shells with Duofix are titanium shells coated in Duofix (combination of sintered titanium metal beads and hydroxyapatite) to enable biological fixation into the prepared acetabulum. These shells are indicated for cementless applications. Additionally, the Pinnacle Sector Acetabular Shells with Duofix have three screw holes for optional adjunct fixation and access to the ilium and posterior column. An appropriate liner is then placed into the implanted shell. The Pinnacle Sector Acetabular Shell with Duofix is an acetabular shell used during primary or revision total hip arthoplasty and is intended to provide increased patient mobility and reduce pain by replacing the damaged hip joint articulation in patients where there is evidence of sufficient sound bone to seat and support the components. Total hip replacement is indicated in the following conditions: 1. A severely painful and/or disabled joint from osteoarthritis, traumatic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or congenital hip dysplasia. 2. Avascular necrosis of the femoral head. 3. Acute traumatic fracture of the femoral head or neck. 4. Failed previous hip surgery including joint reconstruction, internal fixation, arthrodesis, hemiarthroplasty, surface replacement arthroplasty, or total hip replacement. 5. Certain cases of ankylosis.
