These inserts are intended to be used in cases where there is destruction of the joint surfaces with or without bone deformity, where the cruciate ligaments are inadequate, not present, or cannot be preserved during the operative procedure, especially when anterior-posterior stability is impaired due to absence of the patella. The collateral ligaments should be intact if this insert is utilized. This tibial insert may also be used in situations where the posterior cruciate ligament is present - its geometry will accommodate that ligament. ## Device Story Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene tibial insert; component of Duracon® Total Knee System. Used in primary cemented total knee arthroplasty; implanted by orthopedic surgeons in clinical settings. Features dished articulating surface for anatomic rollback, flexion-extension, and internal-external rotation; raised anterior eminence provides anterior constraint when posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) is absent/non-functional. Geometry accommodates PCL if present. No support post; compatible with Duracon® Condylar Femoral Components, avoiding additional distal femoral bone resection. Provides stability in cases of joint surface destruction or ligamentous inadequacy. Benefits patient through restoration of joint function and stability. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Engineering analyses were performed to characterize the function of the tibial insert and demonstrate substantial equivalence to legally marketed predicate devices. ## Technological Characteristics Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) tibial insert. Available in 9mm, 11mm, 13mm, and 16mm thicknesses. Features dished articulating surface and raised anterior eminence. Designed for use with Duracon® Extra Small Universal/Cruciform baseplates and Duracon® femoral/patellar components. Cemented fixation. No support post. ## Regulatory 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). ## Predicate Devices - Duracon® Condylar and AP Lipped Tibial Insert ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

This insert is available in an extrasmall size in the following thicknesses: 9mm, 11mm, 13mm, and 16mm. The subject insert has a dished articulating surface geometry to provide anatomic rollback, flexionextension and internal-external rotation. The subject tibial insert features a raised anterior eminence designed to provide greater anterior constraint in situations where the posterior cruciate ligament is not present or not functional. This anterior eminence is designed to provide substitution for the posterior cruciate ligament if it is not present or cannot be preserved. The subject insert does not feature a support post. This allows the Duracon® CS Lipped Extra Small Tibial Insert to be used with the Duracon® Condylar Femoral Components. These condylar femoral components do not require the removal of additional bone from the distal surface of the femur. Because this insert does not feature a support post, it may also be used in situations where the posterior cruciate ligament is present. The geometry of the insert will accommodate the PCL if it is present. The subject Duracon® CS Lipped Extra Small Tibial Insert features the same locking mechanism as the previously released Duracon® Condylar and AP Lipped Tibial Insert. Engineering analyses were presented to characterize the function of the subject tibial insert, and to demonstrate substantial equivalence to other legally marketed devices. 4 {3}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/3/Picture/1 description: The image is a black and white logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
