## Intended Use

The Balanced Knee® System Revision is intended for cemented use only in knee arthroplasty procedures whose indications include: 1. Loss of joint configuration and joint function. 2. Osteoarthritis of the knee joint. 3. Rheumatoid arthritis of the knee joint. 4. Post-traumatic arthritis of the knee joint. 5. Moderate valgus, varus, or flexion deformities. 6. Revision procedures where other treatments or devices have failed The Balanced Knee® System Revision is indicated in the salvage of previously failed surgical attempts where femoral bone loss may require the use of augments or stem extensions.

## Device Story

Balanced Knee System Revision is a semiconstrained cemented knee prosthesis; used in total knee arthroplasty and revision procedures. Device addresses joint function loss, arthritis, and failed prior surgeries; includes components for femoral bone loss management (augments, stem extensions). Implanted by orthopedic surgeons in hospital/surgical settings. Provides mechanical replacement of knee joint surfaces to restore mobility and reduce pain.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; bench testing only.

## Technological Characteristics

Semiconstrained cemented knee prosthesis; metal/polymer construction. Includes femoral augments and stem extensions for bone loss. Class II device (Product Code JWH).

## 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).
