Intended Use

The GMK knee prosthesis 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. Tibial augments are to be attached to the tibial baseplate with both the fixing cylinders and bone cement. In case a semi-constrained liner is used, an extension stem must be implanted both on the tibial and on the femoral components.

Device Story

GMK Short Stem is a titanium alloy (Ti6-Al4-V) tibial extension stem for total knee arthroplasty. It serves as a modular component for the GMK Total Knee System and GMK Sphere Total Knee System. The device is implanted by orthopedic surgeons in a clinical/OR setting. It attaches to the tibial baseplate via a morse taper connection to provide stability. The stem is intended for cemented use. By providing additional fixation, it supports the tibial baseplate in patients with sufficient bone stock, aiding in joint reconstruction and pain relief.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Substantial equivalence is supported by bench testing, including mechanical evaluation of the modular connection and risk analysis comparing the device to the predicate GMK Total Knee System (K090988).

Technological Characteristics

Material: Titanium alloy (Ti6-Al4-V) per ISO 5832-3:1996. Dimensions: 11mm diameter, 30mm length. Connection: Morse taper. Fixation: Cemented. Modular design compatible with GMK Total Knee System tibial baseplates.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring total knee arthroplasty due to severe pain/disability from arthritis (traumatic, rheumatoid, polyarthritis), avascular necrosis of the femoral condyle, post-traumatic joint loss, or primary implantation failure. Requires sufficient sound bone for component seating.

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).

GMK Short Stem 510(k)

{1}------------------------------------------------

#### Product Description

The GMK Short Stem is a tibial extension stem 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. The GMK Short Stem has a diameter of 11mm and a length of 30mm. The GMK Short Stem is compatible with the tibial baseplates of the GMK Total Knee System (K090988) and the tibial baseplates of the GMK Sphere Total Knee System (K121416).

#### Indications for Use

The GMK knee prosthesis 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.

Tibial augments are to be attached to the tibial baseplate with both the fixing cylinders and bone cement.

In case a semi-constrained liner is used, an extension stem must be implanted both on the tibial and on the femoral components.

#### Comparison to Predicate Devices

The indications for use, design features and materials of the GMK Short Stem are substantially equivalent to those of the predicate devices. The GMK Short Stem has the same materials, diameter, and morse taper as the GMK 65mm tibial extension stem cleared under K090988 and has a similar length as the tibial extension stem cleared under the Zimmer NexGen predicate device. The safety and effectiveness of the GMK Short Stem are adequately supported by the substantial equivalence information, materials information, and analysis data provided within this Premarket Notification.

Image /page/2/Picture/0 description: The image contains several small, dark, irregularly shaped spots scattered across a white background. The spots vary in size and are distributed unevenly, with some clustered together and others appearing in isolation. The overall impression is of minor imperfections or blemishes on a clean surface.

#### Performance Testing

A review of the mechanical data indicates that the GMK Short Stem is equivalent to devices currently cleared for use and is capable of withstanding expected in vivo loading without failure. The GMK Short Stem has the same specifications (materials, diameter, and morse taper) as the 65mm GMK tibial extension stem cleared under K090988. Since the modular connection to the GMK tibial baseplate (K090988) is the same, the test performed on the tibial modular connection (K090988) is also applicable to the connection when the GMK Short Stem is used and no further tests are needed to prove substantial equivalence.

The modification to the device system to include the addition of the GMK Short Stem was evaluated by risk analysis to identify any new risks associated with the change. Based on the risk analysis, design verification was conducted to written protocols with pre-defined acceptance criteria. The protocols and pre-defined acceptance criteria were based on the standards, FDA guidance, and comparison to the predicate device system. The GMK Short Stem was compared to the worst case K090988 GMK Total Knee component in terms of modular connection to the tibial baseplate and it was determined that the GMK Short Stem is not worst case.

#### Conclusion:

Based on the above information, the GMK Short Stem can be considered as substantially equivalent to its predicate devices.
