Intended Use
-Osteoarthritis, traumatic arthritis, polyarthritis, and/or severe chondrocalcinosis of the patellofemoral joint; -The salvage of previously failed surgical attempts (e.g., arthroscopy, lateral release, cartilage transplantation); -History of patellar dislocation or patella fracture; -Dysplasia-induced degeneration This device is intended for cemented use only.
Device Story
Zimmer Patellofemoral Joint (PFJ) Prosthesis; knee prosthesis component designed to replicate femoral patellar groove anatomy. Incorporates NexGen knee system frontal profile geometry for patella tracking; accommodates resurfaced and unresurfaced patellas. Available in five sizes; left and right configurations. Implanted by orthopedic surgeons in clinical settings to address patellofemoral joint degeneration or failure of previous surgeries. Device provides mechanical replacement of articulating surface; intended for cemented fixation. Benefits include restoration of joint function and stability for patients with specified arthritic or traumatic conditions.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. Non-clinical performance testing demonstrated the device meets requirements and is as safe and effective as the predicate devices.
Technological Characteristics
Knee joint patellofemoral polymer/metal semi-constrained cemented prosthesis. Design replicates femoral patellar groove anatomy using NexGen knee system frontal profile geometry. Five sizes available in left/right configurations. Cemented fixation.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients with osteoarthritis, traumatic arthritis, polyarthritis, severe chondrocalcinosis of the patellofemoral joint, dysplasia-induced degeneration, history of patellar dislocation or fracture, or salvage of failed prior surgical attempts (e.g., arthroscopy, lateral release, cartilage transplantation). Intended for cemented use only.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A knee joint patellofemoral polymer/metal semi-constrained cemented prosthesis is a two-part device intended to be implanted to replace part of a knee joint in the treatment of primary patellofemoral arthritis or chondromalacia. 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 a component made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum or austenitic steel, for resurfacing the intercondylar groove (femoral sulcus) on the anterior aspect of the distal femur, and a patellar component made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene. This generic type of device is limited to those devices intended for use with bone cement (§ 888.3027). The patellar component is designed to be implanted only with its femoral component.

Dear Ms. Binkley:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the devices referenced above and have determined the devices are substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the devices, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
If your devices are classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), they may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your devices can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your devices in the Federal Register.
