Intended Use
The Apollo Knee System Single Lug Patella is designed to articulate with the various tibial and femoral components of the Apollo Total Knee System.
Device Story
Single-piece all-polyethylene patellar implant; designed for articulation with Apollo Total Knee System femoral/tibial components. Features central single lug for fixation; includes concentric cement groove on stem and discontinuous dovetail cement grooves on posterior surface for bone cement macro-lock and rotational stability. Available in 28mm round and three elliptical sizes (29x32mm, 32x35mm, 35x38mm). Used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical settings during total knee replacement procedures to restore joint function and stability.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Material: Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) per ASTM F648. Design: Single-piece, single-lug geometry with cement grooves for fixation. Dimensions: 28mm round; 29x32mm, 32x35mm, 35x38mm elliptical.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring total knee arthroplasty, specifically for use with the Apollo Total Knee System components to replace the patellar surface.
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).
