The Avon Patello-femoral Joint Prosthesis is intended to be used in cemented patellofemoral arthroplasty in patients with degenerative arthritis in the distal femur and patella, patients with a history of patellar dislocation or patella fracture, or patients with failed previous surgery (arthroscopy, tibial tubercle elevation, lateral release) where pain, deformity or dysfunction persists. These components are single use only and are intended for implantation with bone cement.
Device Story
Avon Patello-femoral Joint Prosthesis consists of femoral components (Cobalt Chrome) and patellar components (UHMWPE); intended for cemented patellofemoral arthroplasty. Device implanted by orthopedic surgeons in clinical settings to address degenerative arthritis, history of dislocation/fracture, or failed prior surgeries. Submission updates labeling to include MR Conditional status; no changes to device design or materials. MR safety evaluated via ASTM standards for displacement force, torque, image artifacts, and RF-induced heating. Labeling now includes MR Conditional symbol and safety parameters for scanning.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Substantial equivalence supported by bench testing evaluating MR compatibility.
Technological Characteristics
Femoral components: Cobalt Chrome (CoCr). Patellar components: Ultra-high Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE). Semi-constrained cemented prosthesis. MR Conditional status verified per ASTM F2052-15, ASTM F2213-17, ASTM F2119-07, and ASTM F2182-19.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients with degenerative arthritis in the distal femur and patella, history of patellar dislocation or fracture, or failed previous surgery (arthroscopy, tibial tubercle elevation, lateral release) with persistent pain, deformity, or dysfunction.
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.

#### Device Description:
This submission covers the Avon femoral and patellar components of the Avon Patello-femoral Joint Prosthesis. The femoral components are manufactured from Cobalt Chrome (CoCr) and the patellar components are manufactured from Ultra-high Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) materials.
The purpose of this submission is to add Magnetic Resonance (MR) Conditional labeling to the labeling of the Avon femoral and patellar components of the Avon Patello-femoral Joint Prosthesis. Additionally, minor labeling and packaging updates, as detailed in the respective sections, are also included in this submission.
#### Indications for Use:
The indications for the subject components are as follows:
The Avon Patello-femoral Joint Prosthesis is intended to be used in cemented patellofemoral arthroplasty in patients with degenerative arthritis in the distal femur and patella, patients with a history of patellar dislocation or patella fracture, or patients with failed previous surgery (arthroscopy, tibial tubercle elevation, lateral release) where pain, deformity or dysfunction persists.
These components are single use only and are intended for implantation with bone cement.
# Summary of Technological Characteristics:
There have been no changes to the technological characteristics of the subject Avon femoral and patellar components of the Avon Patello-femoral Joint Prosthesis as a result of the revision to the labeling. The subject components have the same design and are manufactured from the same materials as the predicate components.
#### Non-Clinical Testing:
The subject Avon femoral and patellar components of the Avon Patello-femoral Joint Prosthesis were evaulated as per the following standards:
{5}------------------------------------------------
- Magnetically Induced Displacement Force performed per ASTM F2052-15, Standard 0 Test Method for Measurement of Magnetically Induced Displacement Force on Medical Devices in the Magnetic Resonance Environment
- Magnetically Induced Torque performed per ASTM F2213-17, Standard Test Method ● for Measurement of Magnetically Induced Torque on Medical Devices in the Magnetic Resonance Environment
- Image Artifact performed per ASTM F2119-07 (Reapproved 2013), Standard Test 0 Method for Evaluation of MR Image Artifacts from Passive Implants
- o Heating by RF Fields per ASTM F2182-19. Standard Test Method for Measurement of Radio Frequency Induced Heating On or Near Passive Implants During Magnetic Resonance Imaging
It was concluded that the subject Avon femoral and patellar components of the Avon Patellofemoral Joint Prosthesis do not present a new worst case with respect to magnetically induced displacement force, torque, MR image artifacts, and RF-induced heating. Therefore, the Avon components are qualified to be "MR Conditional" for MR-induced displacement, torque and image artifacts, and RF-induced heating.
The labeling has been modified to include the MR Conditional symbol and to provide the parameters under which a patient who has the device can be safely scanned in the MR environment.
## Clinical Testing:
Clinical testing was not required as a basis for substantial equivalence.
#### Conclusion:
Based upon a comparison of the intended use, materials, summary of technological characteristics, and preclinical evaluation, the subject components are substantially equivalent to the respective predicate components identified in this premarket notification.
