Indications for Use
The Modular Rotating Hinge Knee is intended to be implanted with bone cement for the following conditions: - There is destruction of the joint surfaces, with or without significant bone deformity. - The cruciate and/or collateral ligaments do not stabilize the knee joint. - The ligaments are inadequate and/or the musculature is weak. - Revision is required of a failed prosthesis where there has been gross instability, with or without bone loss or inadequate soft tissue.
Device Story
Modular Rotating Hinge Knee with Offset Adapters; orthopedic implant system for total knee arthroplasty. Device components implanted with bone cement to replace destroyed joint surfaces and provide stability in cases of ligamentous insufficiency or failed prior prostheses. Offset adapters allow for modular adjustment during surgical implantation. Used in clinical/surgical settings by orthopedic surgeons. Provides mechanical structural support to restore knee joint function and stability; benefits patient by addressing gross instability and bone/soft tissue loss.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Engineering analysis demonstrated mechanical properties comparable to predicate devices.
Technological Characteristics
Modular knee prosthesis; metal/polymer constrained cemented design. Includes offset adapters for modularity. Materials and operational principles consistent with predicate knee systems.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring knee joint replacement due to joint surface destruction (with/without deformity), ligamentous instability (cruciate/collateral), inadequate musculature, or revision of failed prosthesis with gross instability and/or bone loss/soft tissue deficiency.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A knee joint femorotibial metal/polymer constrained cemented prosthesis is a device intended to be implanted to replace part of a knee joint. The device limits translation or rotation in one or more planes and has components that are linked together or affined. This generic type of device includes prostheses composed of a ball-and-socket joint located between a stemmed femoral and a stemmed tibial component and a runner and track joint between each pair of femoral and tibial condyles. The ball-and-socket joint is composed of a ball at the head of a column rising from the stemmed tibial component. The ball, the column, the tibial plateau, and the stem for fixation of the tibial component are made of an alloy, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum. The ball of the tibial component is held within the socket of the femoral component by the femoral component's flat outer surface. The flat outer surface of the tibial component abuts both a reciprocal flat surface within the cavity of the femoral component and flanges on the femoral component designed to prevent distal displacement. The stem of the femoral component is made of an alloy, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, but the socket of the component is made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene. The femoral component has metallic runners which align with the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene tracks that press-fit into the metallic tibial component. The generic class also includes devices whose upper and lower components are linked with a solid bolt passing through a journal bearing of greater radius, permitting some rotation in the transverse plane, a minimal arc of abduction/adduction. This generic type of device is limited to those prostheses intended for use with bone cement (§ 888.3027).
