Device design is identical to predicate Duracon® tibial inserts; manufactured using X3™ material technology. Intended for implantation by orthopedic surgeons in clinical settings to replace damaged joint surfaces. Provides mechanical articulation and load-bearing support to restore knee function and alleviate pain. Fixation achieved with or without bone cement. Benefits include improved wear characteristics and structural integrity compared to traditional materials. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Engineering analysis performed to demonstrate equivalent strength to predicate components. ## Technological Characteristics Knee joint patellofemorotibial polymer/metal/polymer semi-constrained cemented/uncemented prosthesis. Material: X3™ (highly cross-linked polyethylene). Design: Identical to Duracon® Total Knee System tibial inserts. Regulatory Class II; Product Codes JWH, MBH. ## Regulatory Identification A knee joint patellofemorotibial metal/polymer porous-coated uncemented 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 is designed to achieve biological fixation to bone without the use of bone cement. This identification includes fixed-bearing knee prostheses where the ultra high molecular weight polyethylene tibial bearing is rigidly secured to the metal tibial base plate. ## Special Controls *Classification.* Class II (special controls). The special control is FDA's guidance: “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Knee Joint Patellofemorotibial and Femorotibial Metal/Polymer Porous-Coated Uncemented Prostheses; Guidance for Industry and FDA.” See § 888.1 for the availability of this guidance. ## Predicate Devices - Duracon® Total Knee System - Triathlon® X3™ Tibial Inserts - Scorpio® X3™ Tibial Inserts ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Tibial inserts will be identical in design to the predicate tibial inserts of the Duracon® Total Knee System and manufactured from the same material as the Triathlon® and Scorpio® X3TM Tibial Inserts. ### Indications: The Durcaon® Total Knee System components included in this submission are intended for use in total knee arthroplasty to relieve pain and restore knee functions for indications such as: - Noninflammatory degenerative joint disease including osteoarthritis, traumatic . arthritis or avascular necrosis, - . Rheumatoid arthritis, - . Correction of functional deformity, - Revision procedures where other treatments or devices have failed, . {1}------------------------------------------------ - Post-traumatic loss of joint anatomy, particularly when there is patello-femoral . erosion, dysfunction or prior patellectomy; and, - Irreparable fracture of the knee ● These products are intended to achieve fixation with and without the use of bone cement. Substantial Equivalence: The Duracon® X3™ CS Tibial Inserts are substantially equivalent to the Duracon® Total Knee System, Triathlon® X3™, and Scorpio® X3TM Tibial Inserts in regards to intended use, design, materials, and operational principles as tibia components. The engineering analysis demonstrates that the subject components are substantially equivalent in strength to the predicate components. {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
