Intended Use
The Osteonics® Anterior Femoral Blocks, because they are accessory components to an existing total knee replacement system, are subject to the general indications and contraindications of their mating knee femoral components, as follows: General Indications for Total Knee Replacement Components - Painful, disabling joint disease of the knee resulting from degenerative arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or post-traumatic arthritis. - Post-traumatic loss of knee joint configuration and function. - Moderate varus, valgus, or flexion deformity in which the ligamentous structures can be returned to adequate function and stability. - Revision of previous unsuccessful knee replacement or other procedure. Indications Specific to the Femoral Wedges - Painful, disabling joint disease of the knee secondary to degenerative arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or post-traumatic arthritis, complicated by the presence of bone loss. - Salvage of previous unsuccessful total knee replacement or other surgical procedure, accompanied by bone loss. Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) bone cement will be used to affix a selected femoral block to its mating knee femoral component. The assembled block-to-femoral component construct is intended for cemented fixation to the prepared distal femur.
Device Story
Modular augmentation blocks for total knee replacement; designed to address bone loss on distal femur. Device inputs: patient-specific anatomical requirements for femoral augmentation. Device transformation: mechanical interface; 3mm thick blocks with grit-blasted surfaces to enhance bone cement/prosthesis interface. Output: prosthetic bone replacement. Used in OR by orthopedic surgeons; intraoperatively assembled to mating femoral components using PMMA bone cement. Construct fixed to prepared distal femur. Benefits: restores joint configuration/function in patients with bone loss; provides stable foundation for knee replacement.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Specimens successfully endured 10 million cycles of physiologically relevant loading to verify strength of the block-to-femoral component construct, with no signs of interface failure.
Indicated for patients with painful, disabling knee joint disease (degenerative, rheumatoid, or post-traumatic arthritis), post-traumatic loss of joint function, or deformity (varus, valgus, flexion) requiring revision or salvage, specifically when complicated by bone loss.
Regulatory Classification
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).

510(k) Summary
- Surface finish: The Osteonics® Series 7000 Total Knee Anterior Femoral Blocks feature an area roughened via a grit blast operation. The grit blasted surface provides a stronger bone cement/prosthesis interface than would a smooth or satin-finished surface.
## Intended Use:
The Osteonics® Series 7000 Total Knee Anterior Femoral Blocks, because they are accessory components to an existing total knee replacement system, are subject to the general indications and contraindications of their mating knee femoral components, as follows:
### Indications for Total Knee Replacement Components
- Painful, disabling joint disease of the knee resulting from degenerative arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or post-traumatic arthritis.
- Post-traumatic loss of knee joint configuration and function.
- Moderate varus, valgus, or flexion deformity in which the ligamentous structures can be returned to adequate function and stability.
- Revision of previous unsuccessful knee replacement or other procedure.
### Indications Specific to the Femoral Wedges
- Painful, disabling joint disease of the knee secondary to degenerative arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or post-traumatic arthritis, complicated by the presence of bone loss.
- Salvage of previous unsuccessful total knee replacement or other surgical procedure, accompanied by bone loss.
## Assembly and Fixation Methods
### Assembly
The Osteonics® Series 7000 Total Knee Anterior Femoral Blocks are intended for intraoperative assembly to mating knee femoral components. The operating room staff will use polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) bone cement to affix a selected femoral block to its mating knee femoral component.
### Fixation
The assembled block-to-femoral component construct is intended for cemented fixation to the prepared distal femur.
## Statement of Technological Comparison:
The substantial equivalence of the Osteonics® Series 7000 Total Knee Anterior Femoral Blocks is supported by a comparison of the subject device to the above-cited predicate devices with regard to intended use, materials, and design.

Osteonics® Series 7000 Total Knee Anterior Femoral Block System
510(k) Summary
## Intended Use
Both the subject devices and the predicate femoral augmentation devices are intended to provide the surgeon with a prosthetic replacement for lost bone on the distal femur. The predicate femoral blocks are intended to address defects of the distal or posterior aspects of the distal femur, while the subject devices are intended to address defects of the posterior aspect of the distal femur. The subject and predicate knee augmentation components are intended for cemented assembly.
## Materials
The subject devices are machined from Ti6Al4V alloy that complies with ASTM F-136, or cast from cobalt chromium alloy that complies with ASTM F-75. The predicate devices are also cast from cobalt chromium alloy. The cobalt chrome alloy version of the subject devices, then, is clearly substantially equivalent to predicate devices in terms of materials. The titanium alloy version of the subject devices differs from the predicate devices in terms of materials; however, this difference is not significant. Titanium alloy has a long history of use in orthopedics, and its use here as a non-articulating component raises no new questions of safety or efficacy.
## Design
The subject devices, like the predicate devices, are modular augmentation blocks that come in a variety of sizes to match the intended mating knee femoral components. The subject and predicate devices are assembled to their mating femoral components via polymethyl methacrylate bone cement. The subject and predicate devices feature a roughened surface to enhance the device-to-cement interface.
## Performance Data:
The Osteonics® Series 7000 Total Knee Anterior Femoral Blocks have been tested to ensure that the block-to-femoral component construct is strong enough to withstand anticipated in-vivo loading conditions. All specimens successfully endured 10 million cycles of physiologically relevant loading, with no signs of impending wedge/femoral component interface failure.
