Indications for Use

The Triathlon® Tritanium® Cone Augment is intended for use in primary or revision total knee arthroplasty where there is a femoral and/or tibial metaphyseal defect secondary to trauma, failed previous prosthesis, or severe degeneration. The Triathlon Cone Augment is intended to be affixed to the mating femoral and/or tibial component using bone cement. The cones are intended for fixation as an assembled construct in the distal femur and/or proximal tibia, with or without bone cement.

Device Story

Triathlon® Tritanium® Cone Augments are sterile, single-use orthopedic accessories for primary or revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Used to address metaphyseal bone defects in the distal femur or proximal tibia caused by trauma, failed implants, or severe degeneration. Devices are manufactured from commercially pure titanium; designed to be cemented to Triathlon® TS femoral components or Universal baseplates; implanted into the bone with or without cement. Surgeons use these to reconstruct bone voids, providing structural support for the primary knee prosthesis. Benefits include restoring joint stability and enabling successful TKA in patients with significant bone loss. Operated by orthopedic surgeons in hospital settings.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Substantial equivalence supported by non-clinical bench testing: cantilever fatigue (10 million cycles per ASTM F1800), torque testing, impaction/plastic deformation analysis, and comparative micromotion testing against predicate devices in simulated tibial/femoral cavities. Material chemistry and mechanical properties verified against ASTM F67 and FDA guidance for porous-coated implants.

Technological Characteristics

Commercially pure titanium (ASTM F67, ASTM F1580). Porous-coated surface for bone/cement apposition. Available in femoral, symmetric tibial, and asymmetric tibial designs. Single-use, sterile. Mechanical fixation via cement or press-fit. Complies with FDA guidance for porous-coated uncemented prostheses.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients with painful, disabling knee joint disease (degenerative, rheumatoid, or post-traumatic arthritis), post-traumatic loss of joint function, moderate varus/valgus/flexion deformity, revision of failed knee replacement, or distal femur/proximal tibia fractures. Specifically indicated for patients with bone loss requiring metaphyseal reconstruction, femoral/tibial bone voids, or extensive resection due to severe degeneration or trauma.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A knee joint patellofemorotibial metal/polymer porous-coated uncemented 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 is designed to achieve biological fixation to bone without the use of bone cement. This identification includes fixed-bearing knee prostheses where the ultra high molecular weight polyethylene tibial bearing is rigidly secured to the metal tibial base plate.

Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The special control is FDA's guidance: “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Knee Joint Patellofemorotibial and Femorotibial Metal/Polymer Porous-Coated Uncemented Prostheses; Guidance for Industry and FDA.” See § 888.1 for the availability of this guidance.

Summary of Technological Characteristics: Device comparisons and performance testing show that the Triathlon® Tritanium® Cone Augment is substantially equivalent to its predicate in terms of intended use, indications, design, materials, performance characteristics and operational principles.

Non-Clinical Testing: The following non-clinical laboratory testing was performed to determine substantial equivalence:

- Cantilever Fatigue Testing in accordance with ASTM F1800- Cone augments survived . ten million cycles of clinically relevant loading without failure -
- . Torque Testing was performed to establish that the cone augments are able to withstand clinically relevant torque loads
- . Plastic Deformation of Cone Augments – cones were metallographically examined in the post-impacted condition – indicated porous surface can withstand impaction without loss of coating integrity
- . Micromotion of Triathlon Tibial Cone Augments – comparative testing was performed to evaluate the initial stability of the Triathlon Tibial Cone construct within the prepared

{7}------------------------------------------------

simulated tibial cavity during a simulated stair descent activity. Micromotion of the baseplate/cone construct with respect to the polyurethane foam constructs used to simulate the proximal tibia was recorded for Triathlon cone constructs and compared to the micromotion of the Zimmer Trabecular metal cone constructs (predicate device). This testing indicates that the Triathlon Tibial Cone Augments are at least equivalent to the Zimmer Trabecular Metal Cones in their ability to resist micromotion.

- Triathlon Tritanium Femoral Cone Augment Micromotion - comparative testing was performed to evaluate the initial stability of the Triathlon Femoral Cone construct within the prepared simulated femoral cavity during a normal walking profile. This testing indicates that the Triathlon Femoral Cone Augment is at least equivalent to the Zimmer Femoral Cone Augment in the ability to resist micromotion.
- . Characterization of the Physical Properties of the Triathlon Tritanium Cone Augment – this testing established that the porous coating meets the requirements outlined in the FDA guidance documents, "Guidance Document for Testing Orthopedic Implants With Modified Metallic Surfaces Apposing Bone Or Bone Cement", April 28, 1994, and FDA Guidance Document, "Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Knee Joint Patellofemorotibial and Femorotibial Metal/Polymer Porous-Coated Uncemented Prostheses, Guidance for Industry and FDA", January 16, 2003.
- Characterization of the Material Chemistry of the Triathlon Tritanium Cone Augment the results of the chemical analysis illustrates that the material meets the requirements set forth in ASTM F67 for Grade 4 unalloyed titanium material, and is similar to a reference device
- Characterization of the Mechanical Properties of Triathlon Tritanium Cone Augments testing was performed to characterize the mechanical properties of cone augments. Surface treated test coupons processed identically to the final device were used. The subject devices met or exceeded the pre-established performance criteria, and are similar to the reference device in terms of performance criteria.

Clinical Testing: Clinical testing was not required as a basis for substantial equivalence.

Conclusion: Based upon a comparison of intended use, materials, summary of technological characteristics, and preclinical testing, the Triathlon® Tritanium® Cone Augment is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices identified in this premarket notification.
