Intended Use
The GMK HINGE® knee prosthesis is designed for cemented use in total knee arthroplasty when the preoperative diagnosis of the joint determines that the bone and stability situation require the implantation of a constrained prosthesis. The GMK HINGE® knee system is indicated in the following cases: - Severely painful and/or disabled joint as a result of arthritis, traumatic arthritis, . rheumatoid arthritis or polyarthritis associated with bone loss and/or severe joint instability - Considerable loss of function of the knee joint . - High-grade joint destruction requiring additional stabilization with stems and . reconstruction of bone defects with metal augmentation - Failure of a primary prosthesis (e.g. infection, loosening) . - Former revision arthroplasty . - Post traumatic loss of joint configuration - Avascular necrosis of femoral condyle Tibial augmentations are to be screwed to the tibial baseplate with both of the two provided fixing screws. When a GMK HINGE® implant is used it is mandatory to implant both the femoral and tibial components with an extension stem.
Device Story
GMK Hinge is a constrained, rotating total knee prosthesis for cemented implantation. System includes femoral component, tibial component, hinge post, hinge post extension, and UHMWPE bushing to prevent metal-on-metal contact. Tibial component features asymmetric design for bone coverage; tibial insert provides rotational control and varus/valgus constraint. Femoral and tibial augments allow restoration of joint line and filling of bone deficiencies; extension stems required for both components to ensure stable construct. Used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical settings for patients with poor bone quality or marked bone loss. Device restores joint function and stability through mechanical constraint and intramedullary fit and fill.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Mechanical performance evaluated against worst-case predicate devices per ISO 21534, ISO 7207-1, ASTM F1800, ASTM F2083-11, and ASTM F1223-08.
Technological Characteristics
Constrained, rotating knee prosthesis. Materials: CoCrMo (ISO 5832-4, ISO 5832-12), UHMWPE (ISO 5834-2 Type 1), Ti6Al4V (ISO 5832-3), M30NW (ISO 5832-9). Cemented fixation. Includes femoral/tibial components, hinge post, UHMWPE bushing, and optional augments. Requires extension stems.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring total knee arthroplasty with constrained prosthesis due to severe pain, joint disability, or destruction from arthritis (rheumatoid, traumatic, polyarthritis), avascular necrosis, post-traumatic loss of joint configuration, or failure of primary/revision arthroplasty associated with bone loss or severe instability.
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).

### Product Description
The GMK Hinge System is a hinged-knee system for total knee replacement. The GMK Hinge femoral component is designed to preserve bone stock. The hinge-post system is comprised of the hinge post and the hinge post extension and has been developed in order to reduce the impingement with the patellar tendon and provide mechanical resistance. There is a UHMWPE bushing between the femoral component and the hinge post in order to avoid contact between metal parts. The tibial component has an asymmetric design to provide coverage of the bone after tibia resection. The surface is mirror polished and the holes for the tibial augmentations are on the bottom. The UHMWPE tibial insert is fixed to the tibial component through a screw and is designed to provide high rotational control and a high varus/valgus constraint. The femoral and tibial augments allow the surgeon to selectively fill bone deficiencies and to aid in restoring the ioint line. The fixation between the augmentations and the femoral component or tibial trav is assured by a screw fixation. The GMK Hinge provides two solutions for the patella prosthesis: an inset patella and a resurfacing patella. The GMK Hinge System would be used most often in patients with poor bone quality or marked bone loss, and in these circumstances, extension stems are helpful to obtain a stable construct. An extension stem in combination with the right offset connector provides intramedullary femoral and tibial fit and fill.
#### Indications for Use
The GMK HINGE® knee prosthesis is designed for cemented use in total knee arthroplasty when the preoperative diagnosis of the joint determines that the bone and stability situation require the implantation of a constrained prosthesis.
The GMK HINGE® knee system is indicated in the following cases:
- Severely painful and/or disabled joint as a result of arthritis, traumatic arthritis, . rheumatoid arthritis or polyarthritis associated with bone loss and/or severe joint instability
- Considerable loss of function of the knee joint .
- High-grade joint destruction requiring additional stabilization with stems and . reconstruction of bone defects with metal augmentation
- Failure of a primary prosthesis (e.g. infection, loosening) .
- Former revision arthroplasty .
{2}------------------------------------------------
- · Post traumatic loss of joint configuration
- Avascular necrosis of femoral condyle
Tibial augmentations are to be screwed to the tibial baseplate with both of the two provided fixing screws.
When a GMK HINGE® implant is used it is mandatory to implant both the femoral and tibial components with an extension stem.
### Comparison to Predicate Devices
The indications for use, design features, and materials of the subject device are substantially equivalent to those of the predicate devices.
The design features of both the GMK Hinge and the predicates are a constrained, rotating knee prosthesis that have similar sizes and are intended to be used for cemented use only.
The GMK Hinge and the predicates use the same materials: CoCrMo (ISO 5832-4) UHMWPE (ISO 5834-2 Type 1) Ti6Al4V (ISO 5832-3) CoCrMo (ISO 5832-12) M30NW (ISO 5832-9)
The fundamental scientific technology of the modified devices has not changed relative to the predicate devices. The safety and effectiveness of the GMK Hinge are adequately supported by the substantial equivalence information, materials information, and analysis data provided within this Premarket Notification.
## Performance Testing
The GMK Hinge was compared to the worst case of the predicate devices. GMK Hinge was tested according to the following standards:
- . ISO 21534
- ISO 7207-1 .
- ASTM F1800 .
- ASTM F2083-11 .
- ASTM F1223-08 .
The comparison to predicate devices and the mechanical testing performed demonstrate that the GMK Hinge does not introduce any issues in regards to safety and effectiveness.
#### Conclusion:
Based on the above information, the GMK Hinge can be considered as substantially equivalent to its predicate devices.
