Non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease including post-traumatic arthritis and osteoarthritis. 2. Failed previous implant. 3. Correctable deformity. 4. All TGS® UKA System implants are intended for cemented use only. 5. Components of this system are designed for single use and to be used as a system. ## Device Story Modular tibial component for TGS Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty System; consists of titanium alloy baseplate and UHMWPE tibial insert. Insert attaches to baseplate via snap-fit lock mechanism. Used in medial or lateral tibiofemoral compartments. Implanted by orthopedic surgeons in clinical/OR settings. Provides articulating surface for knee joint; replaces damaged cartilage/bone. Benefits patients by restoring joint function and reducing pain associated with degenerative disease. Single-use, sterile, cemented fixation. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence demonstrated via bench testing only, including modular component interlock testing, engineering analysis of strength and fatigue properties, and analysis of range of motion and contact area/stress. ## Technological Characteristics Modular tibial prosthesis; titanium alloy baseplate, UHMWPE insert. Snap-fit locking mechanism. Six sizes (40-60mm A/P). Cemented fixation. Ethylene oxide sterilization. Standalone orthopedic implant. ## Regulatory Identification A knee joint femorotibial metal/polymer non-constrained cemented prosthesis is a device intended to be implanted to replace part of a knee joint. The device limits minimally (less than normal anatomic constraints) translation in one or more planes. It has no linkage across-the-joint. This generic type of device includes prostheses that have a femoral condylar resurfacing component or components made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, and a tibial component or components made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene and are intended for use with bone cement (§ 888.3027). ## Predicate Devices - DePuy Preservation ™ Unicondylar Tibia ([K040268](/device/K040268.md)) - Genesis Unicompartmental Knee System (Accuris), Smith & Nephew ([K912735](/device/K912735.md)) - TGS® Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty System ([K090024](/device/K090024.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Cleared: May 4, 2009) | #### Device Description TGS® Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty Modular Tibia System (Modular Tibia) is designed to be used with the TGS® Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty System (K090024). The Modular Tibia is designed as a two piece construction including a tibial baseplate and a (poly) tibial insert. The tibial baseplate is composed of titanium alloy and is provided in six sizes. The tibial baseplate is indicated for cemented use only. The tibial insert is composed of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene and is provided in six sizes corresponding to each metal baseplate size. Each tibial insert size is provided in four thicknesses. The tibial insert assembles to a corresponding tibial baseplate with a snap-fit lock mechanism. The Modular Tibia is provided in right and left configurations for use in the medial or lateral tibiofemoral compartment of the knee. The Modular Tibia is packaged sterile with each tibial baseplate and each tibial insert packaged individually. {1}------------------------------------------------ K101206 # 2/3 Alexandria Research Technologies, LLC | | Subject Device | Predicate #1 | Predicate #2 | Predicate #3 | |-------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | TGS ® UKA Modular

The safety and effectiveness of the Modular Tibia is adequately supported by the substantial equivalence information, materials data, and testing results provided within this premarket notification. # Non-Clinical Testing The following bench testing and analysis has been performed to demonstrate that the TGS UKA Modular Tibia presented no new risks and is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices: - Bench testing of the modular component interlock of subject and predicate devices. . - Engineering analysis of strength and fatigue properties of subject and predicate devices. . - . Engineering analysis of range of motion and contact area/stress of subject and predicate devices # Clinical Testing Clinical testing was not necessary to demonstrate substantial equivalence of the subject device, the Modular Tibia, to the indicated predicate devices. {3}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/3/Picture/1 description: The image is a black and white logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
