Intended Use
Stem - PSA Type is included in U2 Total Knee System-PSA type. U2 Total Knee System-PSA type is indicated for use in skeletally mature patients with severe knee pain and disability undergoing surgery for knee arthroplasty due to rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, primary and secondary traumatic arthritis, polyarthritis, collagen disorders, avascular necrosis of the femoral condyle or pseudogout, posttraumatic loss of joint configuration, particularly when there is patellofemoral erosion, dysfunction or prior patellectomy, moderate valgus, varus, or flexion contraction. This device is intended for use in patients who require augmentation and/or stem extensions due to inadequate bone stock and/or require constrained stabilization for tibiofemoral joint due to soft tissue imbalance. U2 Total Knee System-PSA type is designed for cemented use only.
Device Story
Stem-PSA Type is an extension of the U2 Total Knee System (K082424) providing additional stem lengths (150, 200, 240mm) for femoral/tibial revision or augmentation. Device consists of Ti-6Al-4V alloy stems in straight or curved configurations; features spline and flute design for canal filling, rigid fixation, and torsional resistance; distal taper addresses proximal stress shielding. Used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical settings during total knee arthroplasty. Output is a mechanical implant component providing structural support and stabilization for the tibiofemoral joint. Benefits include improved fixation and stability in patients with compromised bone stock or soft tissue imbalance.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Locking strength test of the Morse Taper was performed as part of the design assurance process to demonstrate safety and effectiveness.
Technological Characteristics
Material: Ti-6Al-4V alloy. Design: Straight and curved stems with spline and flute geometry for canal filling and distal taper for stress shielding reduction. Dimensions: 10mm to 24mm diameter; 150mm, 200mm, and 240mm lengths. Fixation: Cemented. Mechanical interface: Morse Taper.
Indications for Use
Indicated for skeletally mature patients with severe knee pain and disability requiring knee arthroplasty due to rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, traumatic arthritis, polyarthritis, collagen disorders, avascular necrosis, or posttraumatic joint loss. Includes patients requiring augmentation/stem extensions for inadequate bone stock or constrained stabilization for soft tissue imbalance. Cemented use only.
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).

materials, design, safety and effectiveness of this subject are identical to the previously cleared U2 Total Knee system. The only difference from the existing products is the length of stem. This subject stem made of Ti-6A1-4V alloy and will be offered in two types which include straight stem and curved stem. The length of extended straight stem distribute to 150, 200 and 240mm, while the curved stem has 240mm only. Each size of stem has fifteen options in diameter which ranging from 10mm to 24mm. Canal filling stems with spline and flute design provide immediate rigid fixation and resistance to torsional movements. Distal taper is designed to address the problems associated with proximal stress shielding, resulting from distal fixation.
### Intended Use
Stem - PSA Type is included in U2 Total Knee System-PSA type. U2 Total Knee System-PSA type is indicated for use in skeletally mature patients with severe knee pain and disability undergoing surgery for knee arthroplasty due to rheumatoid arthritis. osteoarthritis, primary and secondary traumatic arthritis, polyarthritis, collagen disorders, avascular necrosis of the femoral condyle or pseudogout, posttraumatic loss of joint configuration, particularly when there is patellofemoral erosion, dysfunction or prior patellectomy, moderate valgus, varus, or flexion contraction. This device is intended for use in patients who require augmentation and/or stem extensions due to inadequate bone stock and/or require constrained stabilization for tibiofemoral joint due to soft tissue imbalance. U2 Total Knee System-PSA type is designed for cemented use only.
Basis for Substantial Equivalence:

# (0) Stem, PSA Type : Additional Size
### 510(k) Summary
The safety and effectiveness of Stem - PSA Type are substantially equivalent to the legal on-market stem components in the U2 Total Knee System - PSA Type (straight stem: available in length 30, 75, and 100 mm; curved stem: 150, 200 mm), except for its larger length (straight stem: available in length 150, 200, and 240 mm; curved stem: 240mm). The diameters for the stem components in Stem - PSA Type and U2 Total Knee System - PSA Type both range from 10 mm to 24mm. In addition, the subject straight stem is also substantial equivalence to the "DEPUY" Anatomic Modular Knee (AMK) System (K864671), while the curved stem is also substantial equivalence to the "SMITH & NEPHEW" LEGION Revision Knee System (K043440). The materials for the subject and predicate devices are identical.
### Performance Data:
The indications for use, materials, design, manufacturing process, sterilization of the Stem - PSA Type are all identical to the legally on-market stem components in the U2 Total Knee System - PSA Type. Besides, locking strength test of Morse Taper. completed as part of the design assurance process demonstrated that this device is safe and effective and is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
