## Intended Use

The indications for the Repicci II™ Unicondylar Knee System are for painful and disabled knee joint resulting from osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, traumatic arthritis where one or more compartments are involved; the correction of varus, valgus, or posttraumatic deformity; and the correction or revision of unsuccessful osteotomy, arthrodesis, or failure of previous joint replacement procedure. The Repicci IITM Unicondylar Knee System is for use with bone cement.

## Device Story

Repicci II™ Unicondylar Knee System is a cemented, semi-constrained knee prosthesis; intended for surgical implantation in patients with degenerative or traumatic knee joint conditions. Device consists of femoral and tibial components; features include an intermediate 51mm femoral size and Ti-6Al-4V plasma spray porous coating on component interiors. System is used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical/hospital settings to replace damaged joint surfaces; restores joint function and reduces pain. Substantial equivalence established via Finite Element Analysis (FEA) comparing design, materials, and sizing to predicate.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical testing was provided as a basis for substantial equivalence. Evidence consists of bench testing via Finite Element Analysis (FEA).

## Technological Characteristics

Semi-constrained, cemented knee prosthesis. Materials include metal and polymer components with Ti-6Al-4V plasma spray porous coating on interior surfaces. Design includes multiple sizes, including a 51mm intermediate femoral component. Operates as a mechanical joint replacement.

## Regulatory Identification

A knee joint femorotibial metal/polymer semi-constrained cemented prosthesis is a device intended to be implanted to replace part of 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 consist of a femoral component made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, and a tibial component made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene and is limited to those prostheses intended for use with bone cement (§ 888.3027).

## Predicate Devices
