Painful and disabled knee joint resulting from osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or traumatic arthritis where one or more compartments are involved. 2. Failure of previous joint replacement procedure. 3. Correction of varus/valgus or post-traumatic deformity. 4. Correction or revision of unsuccessful osteotomy, or arthrodesis. Device designed for use in patients with metal sensitivity. Standard surgical and rehabilitative procedures are indicated with this device. The device is a single-use device intended for use with bone cement. ## Device Story Vanguard Knee System Titanium Femoral Components; titanium alloy femoral knee replacement; designed for patients with nickel sensitivity to cobalt-chromium alloys. Same design as predicate Vanguard femoral components; intended for total knee arthroplasty. Implanted by orthopedic surgeons in clinical/hospital settings; requires bone cement fixation. Provides alternative material for patients with metal allergies; restores joint function; corrects deformities. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence based on non-clinical laboratory testing. ## Technological Characteristics Titanium femoral knee component; semi-constrained cemented prosthesis. Material: Titanium alloy (alternative to Co-Cr-Mo). Design: Identical to predicate Vanguard femoral components. Single-use. ## 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 - Biomet Titanium Femoral Component ([K981996](/device/K981996.md)) - Maxim Accel Knee System ([K023546](/device/K023546.md)) - Vanguard SSK Knee System ([K042757](/device/K042757.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

| ### Legally Marketed Devices To Which Substantial Equivalence Is Claimed: Biomet Titanium Femoral Component -- K981996 (Biomet Inc.) Maxim Accel Knee System - K023546 (Biomet Inc.) Vanguard " SSK Knee System - K042757 (Biomet Inc.) Device Description: The Vanguard™ Knee System Titanium Femoral Components have the same design as the predicate Vanguard™ femoral knee components originally cleared as the Maxim® Accel Knee System femoral components. The difference in material offers the opportunity for total knee replacement to those patients with metal sensitivity to the nickel element of the predicate Co-Cr-Mo Cobalt - Chromium alloy femoral knee components. ### Indications for Use: - 1. Painful and disabled knee joint resulting from osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or traumatic arthritis where one or more compartments are involved. - 2. Failure of previous joint replacement procedure. - 3. Correction of varus/valgus or post-traumatic deformity. - 4. Correction or revision of unsuccessful osteotomy, or arthrodesis. - · Device designed for use in patients with metal sensitivity. - · Standard surgical and rehabilitative procedures are indicated with this device. - · The device is a single-use device intended for use with bone cement. Summary of Technologies: The Vanguard™ Knee System Titanium Femoral Components have the same indications for use and the same design technology as the predicate devices. Mailing Address P.O.
