Indications for Use
The Optetrak® HI-FLEX Asymmetric Posterior-Stabilized Cemented Femoral Components (herein referred to as the Optetrak® HI-FLEX PS Femoral Components) and Optetrak® HI-FLEX Posterior-Stabilized Tibial Inscrts (Herein referred to as the HI-FLEX PS Tibial Inserts) are intended to be used with an Optetrak® Tibial Tray to replace the patient's distal fomur and proximal tibia during primary or revision total knee arthroplasty. The Optetrak® HI-FLEX PS Femoral components are intended for use when needed to closely match the geometry of the patient's resected distal femur and allows for more flexion than the standard Optetrak® components. The Optetrak® HI-FLEX PS Tibial Insert is intended for use with the Optetrak® HI-FLEX PS Femoral components to afford the patient a higher degree of flexion than the standard Optetrak femoral/tibial insert combination. The proposed components are intended for use in total knee arthroplasty procedures in which the Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) must be sacrificed. All proposed femoral components are intended for cemented use only.
Device Story
Optetrak HI-FLEX knee system components replace distal femur and proximal tibia in total knee arthroplasty; designed for increased flexion compared to standard components. System comprises asymmetric posterior-stabilized femoral components and posterior-stabilized tibial inserts; requires use with Optetrak tibial tray. Used in OR by orthopedic surgeons; components are cemented. Device geometry combines features from existing Optetrak AK and B-Series components to optimize fit and range of motion. Benefits include improved flexion and anatomical matching for patients requiring PCL-sacrificing procedures.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Verification and validation analyses were conducted to confirm implant performance under anticipated in vivo loading conditions.
Technological Characteristics
Cemented, semi-constrained, metal/polymer knee prosthesis. Components include asymmetric posterior-stabilized femoral components and posterior-stabilized tibial inserts. Design utilizes specific condyle, cam, and spine geometries derived from existing Optetrak product lines. Materials are standard orthopedic metal and polymer alloys. No changes to patellar or tibial tray components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for skeletally mature individuals undergoing primary total knee replacement for osteoarthritis, osteonecrosis, rheumatoid arthritis, or post-traumatic degenerative problems; also indicated for revision of failed reconstructions with sufficient bone stock and soft tissue integrity. Contraindicated in patients with active infection, insufficient bone stock, inadequate soft tissue integrity, mental/neuromuscular disorders preventing joint control, or conditions causing extreme loads/early failure.
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).
