Regulatory Classification
Identification
A knee joint patellofemorotibial polymer/metal/polymer semi-constrained cemented prosthesis is a device intended to be implanted to replace a knee 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 a tibial component or components and a retropatellar resurfacing component made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene. This generic type of device is limited to those prostheses intended for use with bone cement (§ 888.3027).

The data that United Orthopedic Corporation included in this submission show the UKNEE Total Knee System (Cruciate retaining type and posterior stabilized type) is safe and effective. The UKNEE Total Knee System comprises a femoral component, which articulates with a fully polyethylene insert component. The underside of the insert component is flat and is snapped into the metal tibial component. The modular (snap-fit) locking mechanism of the insert components has proven to be safe and effective in the clinical area. The design and sizing of the femoral component correspond to the natural femoral anatomy, enhancing stress distribution and contributing to restore original femoral dimensions and normal rotation, extension and flexion. Each size of femur has the same intercondylar distance and radius of curvature; this feature is replicated on the insert component, thus allowing any size of femur to be matched with any size of tibial component. The dome shape all UHMWPE patellar design provides excellent contact and even distribution of stresses, simplifies implantation by eliminating need for rotational orientation. Test data indicate the UKNEE Total Knee System performs as well or better than the predicate device in all areas tested. Materials used in the manufacture of the UKNEE Total Knee System meet the property requirements of the ASTM standards associated with each material.
