Primary intervention of rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, post-traumatic arthritis, or degenerative arthritis. 2. Failed osteotomy or unicompartmental replacements 3. Replacement of unsatisfactory cemented or press-fit knee components when sufficient bone stock exists. ## Device Story Consensus® PCL Substituting Tibial Insert; asymmetric UHMWPE component; articulates with Consensus® Knee primary femoral component; replaces posterior cruciate ligament function; features inferior dovetail grooves for interlocking with tibial baseplate; available in three sizes and five thicknesses; provided sterile; used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical/OR settings; restores joint function; facilitates knee arthroplasty. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data required; substantial equivalence established via non-clinical performance data. ## Technological Characteristics Material: Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (ASTM F648). Design: Asymmetric cruciate-substituting tibial component with inferior dovetail grooves for baseplate interlocking. Dimensions: 3 sizes, 5 thicknesses. Sterilization: Provided sterile. ## 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 - Intermedics Orthopedics, Inc.

CONSENSUS® PCL SUBSTITUTING TIBIAL INSERT US Medical Products, Inc. 12201 Technology Boulevard Suite 100 Austin, Texas 78727 William N. Thompson, Director Quality Assurance and Regulatory Affairs Voice (512) 257-4835 Fax (512) 257-8300 Date of Preparation: 17 Oct 1995 Trade Name: Consensus® PCL Substituting Tibial Insert Common Name: posterior cruciate ligament substituting tibial insert knee prosthesis Classification Name: Prosthesis, knee, patello/femorotibial, semi-constrained, cemented, polymer/metal/polymer, under classification 21CFR888.3560. Substantial Equivalence: equivalent PCL Substituting Tibial Insert component: Intermedics Orthopedics, Inc. Natural Knee® Ultracongruent Tibial Insert K912663 SE 09-16-91 Device Description: The Consensus® Knee PCL Substituting Tibial Insert component is manufactured from ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (ASTM F648). It is an asymmetric cruciate-retaining tibial component and is designed to articulate with the Consensus® Knee primary femoral component. Therefore, it has articulating surface geometry similar to the Consensus® Knee congruent tibial insert component. The inferior surface of each component employs dovetail grooves for positive interlocking with the tibial baseplate. The design is available in three sizes and each size is available in five thicknesses. The Consensus® PCL Substituting Tibial Insert will be provided sterile. {1} K 953443 The Consensus® PCL Substituting Tibial Insert is designed for use with the following Consensus® Total Knee System components: - Consensus® Nonporous CoCr Femoral component - Consensus® Porous CoCr Femoral Component - Consensus® All Poly Patellar component - Consensus® Metal Back Patellar component - Consensus® Porous Titanium Stemmed Tibial Baseplate - Consensus® Nonporous Titanium Stemmed Tibial Baseplate - Consensus® CoCr Stemmed Tibial Baseplate Intended Use: The Consensus® PCL Substituting Tibial Insert is indicated for use in: 1. Primary intervention of rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, post-traumatic arthritis, or degenerative arthritis. 2. Failed osteotomy or unicompartmental replacements 3. Replacement of unsatisfactory cemented or press-fit knee components when sufficient bone stock exists. Summary of Technological Characteristics: The Consensus® PCL Substituting Tibial Insert is an asymmetric UHMWPE cruciate-substituting tibial component designed to articulate with the Consensus® Knee primary femoral component. The inferior surface of each component employs dovetail grooves for positive interlocking with the tibial baseplate. The design is available in three sizes and each size is available in five thicknesses. Performance Data: The device performs with substantial equivalence to predicate devices. Clinical Data: None Required Conclusions from Non-clinical and Clinical Data: The Consensus® PCL Substituting Tibial Insert is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
