Read the full statement (145 words)
The Echelon Titanium Hip System is indicated for individuals undergoing primary and revision surgery where other treatments or devices have failed in rehabilitating hips damaged as a result of trauma or noninflammatory degenerative joint disease (NIDJD) or any of its composite diagnoses of osteoarthritis, avascular necrosis, traumatic arthritis, slipped capital epiphysis, fused hip, fracture of the pelvis, and diastrophic variant.
Hip components are also indicated for inflammatory degenerative joint disease including rheumatoid arthritis, arthritis secondary to a variety of diseases and anomalies, and congenital dysplasia; old, remote osteomyelitis with an extended drainage-free period, in which case, the patient should be warned of an above normal danger of infection postoperatively; treatments of nonunion, femoral neck fracture and trochanteric fractures of the proximal femur with head involvement that are unmanageable using other techniques; endoprosthesis, femoral ostectomy, or Girdlestone resection; fracture-dislocation of the hip; and correction of deformity.
Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA summary, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
