They are intended for use in conjunction with associated Duracon femoral components as part of cemented total knee replacement surgery. Indications for use, in keeping with those of other commercially-available, Class II total knee devices, are as follows: . Noninflammatory degenerative joint disease including osteoarthritis, traumatic arthritis or avascular necrosis. . Rheumatoid arthritis. . . Correction of functional deformity. . . Revision procedures where other treatments have failed. . . Post-traumatic loss of knee joint anatomy, particularly when there is patello-femoral erosion, dysfunction or prior patellectomy. . . Irreparable fracture of the knee. ## Device Story Duracon Inset Patellar Component is a cemented artificial knee component; used in total knee replacement surgery. Subject device is a 25mm diameter version of existing Duracon components. Device implanted by orthopedic surgeons in clinical/hospital settings. Functions as a prosthetic patellar surface to restore knee joint anatomy and function. Benefits patients by addressing joint disease, deformity, or trauma. Output is a physical implant; clinical decision-making based on patient need for knee arthroplasty. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Comparative wear resistance testing performed using simulated chair rising and stair climbing to compare the 25mm component to existing sizes. ## Technological Characteristics Cemented patellar prosthesis; metal/polymer construction. Identical materials and design to predicate devices (K961482, K965173). Dimensions: 25mm diameter. Intended for 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 - Duracon Inset Patellar Component ([K961482](/device/K961482.md)) - Duration-stabilized Duracon Inset Patellar Component ([K965173](/device/K965173.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Allendale, NJ 07401-1677 | |----------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------| | Contact Person: | Terry Sheridan Powell | | Date of Summary Preparation: | October 29, 1999 | Device Identification Proprietary Name: Duracon Inset Patellar Component Common Name: Artificial Knee Component Classification Name and Reference: 888.3560: Knee joint patellofemorotibial polymer/metal/polymer semi-constrained cemented prosthesis. #### Predicate Device Identification The Duracon Inset Patellar Component, in sizes 27, 29, 31, and 33mm, were determined Substantially Equivalent via 510(k) #K961482. They were then cleared in a Duration-stabilized version via K965173. This Special 510(k) covers an additional size component: 25mm. {1}------------------------------------------------ The intended use of the subject component is unchanged from that of the commercially-available Duracon Inset Patellar Components. The indications are specified in the Indications for Use attachment, and are the same as those cleared via K961482. ## Device Description The subject 25mm Duracon Inset Patellar Component is identical to the commercially-available Duracon Inset Patellar Components (available in sizes 27, 29, 31, and 33mm), except for its smaller diameter. #### Statement of Technological Comparison The materials for the subject and predicate devices are identical. The indications for use of the subject and predicate devices are identical. The design of the subject and predicate devices is the same, except that the subject device is a new, smaller size: 25mm diameter. The performance testing is sufficient to demonstrate that the subject and predicate devices are Substantially Equivalent with regard to design. ## Performance Data Comparative testing (simulated chair rising and stair climbing) confirmed that the wear resistance of the modified component is not significantly different from that of existing product. {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
