Intended Use

The ComPreSs™ Distal Femoral Replacement System is indicated for tumors of the distal femur and revisions of oncologic distal femoral replacements. The ComPreSs™ Distal Femoral Replacement components are intended for uncemented use.

Device Story

ComPreSs™ Distal Femoral Replacement is a metallic femoral segmental fixation stem; replaces distal femur in cases of severe bone loss. Device features integrated spring system to apply compressive load at prosthetic implant-bone interface during insertion. Intended for uncemented use. Used by surgeons in clinical settings for oncologic reconstruction. Mechanical design reduces stress shielding compared to standard cemented implants. Benefits include improved fixation and bone preservation.

Clinical Evidence

Clinical results determined substantial equivalence to similar knee prostheses implanted for similar indications. Mechanical testing demonstrated reduced stress shielding compared to standard cemented implants and confirmed structural integrity for clinical use.

Technological Characteristics

Metallic femoral segmental fixation stem; integrated spring system for compressive load application at bone-implant interface. Designed for uncemented fixation. Materials consistent with predicate devices.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients with tumors of the distal femur and those requiring revisions of oncologic distal femoral replacements.

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).

#### Device Description:

The ComPreSs™ Distal Femoral Replacement is a metallic femoral segmental fixation stem intended to replace the distal part of the femur in cases of severe bone loss. The design of the ComPreSs™ stem allows a compressive load to be applied at the prosthetic implant-bone interface at the time of device insertion. This is accomplished through a spring system built into the stem.

#### Indications for Use:

The ComPreSs™ Distal Femoral Replacement System is indicated for tumors of the distal femur and revisions of oncologic distal femoral replacements.

The ComPreSs™ Distal Femoral Replacement components are intended for uncemented use.

#### Summary of Technologies:

The ComPreSs "M Distal Femoral Replacement is made of the same material as the predicate device. Unlike the predicate device, the ComPreSs™ Distal Femoral Replacement components are intended for uncemented use.

#### Non-Clinical Testing:

Results of mechanical testing showed that the ComPreSs™ Distal Femoral Replacement produces less stress shielding than a standard cemented implant. Testing also addressed all failure mechanisms for the device, and was found to be strong enough to begin the clinical study.

#### Clinical Results:

The clinical results determined that the ComPreSs™ Distal Femoral Replacement is substantially equivalent to similar knee prostheses implanted for similar indications.

#### Summary:

Based on the results of mechanical testing and clinical data, the ComPreSs™ Distal Femoral Replacement is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
