Intended Use

The Kinemax® Plus Modular Stabilizer Femoral Component and Femoral Spacers are intended to be used with Kinemax® and Kinemax® Plus tibial and patellar components as a total knee system. These components are intended to be used in total knee replacement procedures indicated due to inflammatory or non-inflammatory joint disease, failed previous prosthesis, or trauma. Specifically, this femoral component is intended to be used in situations where a stemmed component is desired to provide additional stability. This femoral component allows the surgeon to use (as an option) femoral spacers to augment bone loss on the distal or distal/posterior surfaces of the femur. These components are intended to be implanted using bone cement.

Device Story

Modular femoral component and spacers for total knee arthroplasty; used with Kinemax/Kinemax Plus tibial and patellar components. Provides stemmed stability; allows distal/posterior bone loss augmentation via spacers. Implanted via bone cement. Used in surgical settings by orthopedic surgeons. Output is physical structural support for knee joint; aids clinical decision-making by restoring joint function and stability in patients with degenerative or traumatic joint failure.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; bench testing only.

Technological Characteristics

Modular femoral component and spacers; cemented fixation. Materials consistent with existing Kinemax/Duracon systems. Designed for use with Kinemax/Kinemax Plus tibial and patellar components.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring total knee replacement due to inflammatory or non-inflammatory joint disease, failed previous prosthesis, or trauma. Specifically for cases requiring stemmed components for additional stability or femoral spacers for bone loss augmentation.

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).
