Candidates for total knee replacement include elderly patients with a severely painful and/or severely disabled joint resulting from osteoarthritis, post-traumatic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or a failed previous implant. Total knee replacement may be considered for younger patients if, in the opinion of the surgeon, an unequivocal indication for total knee replacement outweighs the risks associated with the age of the patient, and if limited demands regarding activity and knee joint loading can be assured. This includes severely crippled patients with multiple joint involvement for whom a gain in knee mobility may lead to significant improvement in their quality of life. ## Device Story Co-Cr-Mo alloy cruciate substituting femoral components for total knee replacement; asymmetric trochlear groove; available in sizes 1.5 to 6 (left/right). Features include optional fixation lugs/pegs, intercondylar box, and bolt hole for modular femoral stem attachment; supports modular augments on distal/posterior surfaces. Implanted by orthopedic surgeons in clinical settings; fixed to femur via bone cement. Device replaces damaged knee joint articulation to restore mobility and reduce pain. Benefit: improved quality of life for patients with severe joint degeneration. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Evidence includes dimensional comparisons, fatigue testing, and patellofemoral contact area analysis. ## Technological Characteristics Material: Co-Cr-Mo alloy. Design: Cruciate substituting femoral component with asymmetric trochlear groove. Fixation: Cemented. Features: Modular femoral stem attachment, optional lugs, modular augment compatibility. Dimensions: Sizes 1.5 to 6. ## 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 - Darwin Knee System ([K950010](/device/K950010.md)) - PFC Sigma Knee System ([K971189](/device/K971189.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

EQUIVALENT DEVICES: | Darwin Knee System, K950010
PFC Sigma Knee System (Size 1.5), K971189 | | #### DEVICE DESCRIPTION: The Sigma PS Femoral Components are part of the Sigma Total Knee Replacement System. They are Co-Cr-Mo alloy cruciate substituting femoral components with an asymmetric trochlear groove, available in sizes 1.5 to 6, in right and left versions. The Sigma PS Femoral Components are available with or without lugs (pegs) on the fixation surface. The femoral components incorporate an intercondylar box and bolt hole, which allow the attachment of optional femoral stems for additional stability. The Sigma PS Femoral Components (without lugs) allow for the attachment of modular augments on the distal and posterior fixation surfaces. Fixation of the femoral component to the femur is achieved using bone cement. #### INTENDED USE: The Sigma PS Femoral Components are intended for cemented use as the femoral components of a Total Knee Replacement system. # 0000005 {1}------------------------------------------------ Total Knee Replacement 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. #### INDICATIONS FOR USE: Candidates for total knee replacement include elderly patients with a severely painful and/or severely disabled joint resulting from osteoarthritis, post-traumatic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or a failed previous implant. Total knee replacement may be considered for younger patients if, in the opinion of the surgeon, an unequivocal indication for total knee replacement outweighs the risks associated with the age of the patient, and if limited demands regarding activity and knee joint loading can be assured. This includes severely crippled patients with multiple joint involvement for whom a gain in knee mobility may lead to significant improvement in their quality of life. #### BASIS FOR SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE: The DePuy Sigma PS Femoral Components are a modification of the Sigma Femoral Components that were previously cleared as part of the Darwin Knee System (now called the Sigma Knee System) in K950010 and the PFC Sigma Knee System (now called the Sigma Knee System) in K971189. Based on similarities in indications, intended use, design, materials, method of manufacture and the results of dimensional comparisons, fatigue testing and patellofemoral contact area analysis, DePuy believes that the Sigma PS Femoral Components are substantially equivalent to the previously cleared femoral components. ## 00000000 {2}------------------------------------------------ DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image shows a partial view of the Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) logo.
