## Intended Use

The Sigma High Performance Unity Knee Resurfacing System is intended to provide increased patient mobility and reduced pain by replacing the damaged knee joint articulation in patients where there is evidence of sufficient sound bone to seat and support the components.

## Device Story

Sigma High Performance Unity Knee Resurfacing System is a modular knee prosthesis consisting of femoral, patellofemoral, tibial, and patellar components. Used for unicompartmental, bicompartmental, or tricompartmental knee replacement. Components are implanted by orthopedic surgeons in a clinical setting to replace damaged articular surfaces. System provides increased mobility and pain reduction. Metal-backed tibial components utilize wrought forged Co-Cr-Mo trays and cross-linked UHMWPE inserts. All components require bone cement for fixation. Device benefits patients by restoring joint function in cases of arthritis, gout, or pseudogout.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Substantial equivalence determined via bench testing, including engineering analysis, wear simulator testing, and mechanical testing.

## Technological Characteristics

System components include wrought forged Co-Cr-Mo tibial trays and XLK cross-linked UHMWPE tibial inserts. Modular design allows various combinations for uni-, bi-, or tricompartmental replacement. Cemented fixation only. No software or electronic components.

## 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).

# Device Description:

The Sigma High Performance Unity Knee Resurfacing System is composed of unicompartmental femoral components, patellofemoral trochlear components, unicompartmental tibial components and patellar components. These components may be used in various combinations to create: a single unicompartmental femorotibial replacement for either the medial or lateral side of the knee; two unicompartmental femorotibial replacements for both the medial and lateral sides of the knee; a patellofemoral replacement; a bicompartmental patellofemorotibial replacement for the medial or lateral side of the knee; or a tricompartmental patellofemorotibial replacement for the medial and lateral sides of the knee.
