Intended Use
The Medacta Bone Screws are intended to provide additional bone fixation of the tibial components of the Evolis Total Knee System. The Evolis Total Knee System is designed for cemented use in total knee arthroplasty, if there is evidence of sufficient sound bone to seat and support the components. This knee replacement system is indicated in the following cases: - Severely painful and/or disabled joint as a result of arthritis, traumatic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis or polyarthritis - avascular necrosis of femoral condyle - post traumatic loss of joint configuration - primary implantation failure.
Device Story
Medacta Bone Screws provide supplemental fixation for tibial components of the Evolis Total Knee System. Screws are titanium alloy (Ti6-Al4-V); 6.5 mm thread diameter; available in 20-45 mm lengths. Used by orthopedic surgeons during total knee arthroplasty procedures in clinical settings. Screws are implanted into bone to secure the tibial component, enhancing stability in patients with sufficient bone stock. Benefit includes improved fixation of the knee prosthesis.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Conformance to ASTM F543-07 Standard Specification and Test Methods for Metallic Bone Screws was verified. No clinical data provided.
Technological Characteristics
Material: Titanium alloy (Ti6-Al4-V) per ISO 5832-3:1996. Thread diameter: 6.5 mm. Lengths: 20-45 mm (5 mm increments). Mechanical testing per ASTM F543-07. Non-sterile/sterile status not specified. No software or electronic components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring total knee arthroplasty due to severe joint pain/disability from arthritis (traumatic, rheumatoid, polyarthritis), avascular necrosis of the femoral condyle, post-traumatic joint loss, or primary implantation failure, provided there is sufficient sound bone to support the Evolis Total Knee System components.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A smooth or threaded metallic bone fixation fastener is a device intended to be implanted that consists of a stiff wire segment or rod made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum and stainless steel, and that may be smooth on the outside, fully or partially threaded, straight or U-shaped; and may be either blunt pointed, sharp pointed, or have a formed, slotted head on the end. It may be used for fixation of bone fractures, for bone reconstructions, as a guide pin for insertion of other implants, or it may be implanted through the skin so that a pulling force (traction) may be applied to the skeletal system.

The Medacta Bone Screws are made of titanium alloy (Ti6-Al4-V) according to ISO5832-3:1996, Implants for Surgery - Metallic materials - Part 3: Wrought titanium 6-aluminum 4-vanadium alloy.
#### Indications for Use:
The Medacta Bone Screws are intended to provide additional bone fixation of the tibial components of the Evolis Total Knee System.
The Evolis Total Knee System is designed for cemented use in total knee arthroplasty, if there is evidence of sufficient sound bone to seat and support the components.
This knee replacement system is indicated in the following cases:
- Severely painful and/or disabled joint as a result of arthritis, traumatic . arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis or polyarthritis
- avascular necrosis of femoral condyle .
- post traumatic loss of joint configuration ●
- primary implantation failure. �
#### Performance Testing
No performance standards applicable to this device have been adopted under Section 514 of the Food, Druq and Cosmetic Act. Performance testing of the Medacta Bone Screws was conducted in accordance with international standards and FDA guidance documents. The bone screws were tested and found to be in conformance with ASTM F543-07 Standard Specification and Test Methods for Metallic Bone Screws.
#### Comparison with Predicate Device
The Medacta Bone Screws have the same indications for use and contraindications as the Evolis predicate device system with which they are intended to work. The Medacta Bone Screws are made of the same type of material as the Plus predicate device. They come in the same thread diameter as the Plus predicate and come in lengths within the range of the predicate device screw lengths.
#### Conclusion:
The data and information provided in this submission support the conclusion that the Medacta Bone Screws are substantially equivalent to its predicate devices. Plus Cancellous Bone Screws with respect to technological characteristics.
