## Intended Use

Trabecular Metal Tibial Cone Augments are intended for use where severe degeneration, trauma, or other pathology of the knee joint indicates total knee arthroplasty. When used with the NexGen Complete Knee Solution - Rotating Hinge Knee (RHK) System, the Trabecular Metal Tibial Cone Augments are for cemented use only. When used with the NexGen Complete Knee Solution - Legacy Constrained Condylar Knee System, the Trabecular Metal Tibial Cone Augments are for cementless or cemented use.

## Device Story

NexGen TM Cone Broach is a 2-piece manual orthopedic instrument (broach and handle) used by surgeons during total knee arthroplasty. Device prepares tibial metaphysis for Trabecular Metal Tibial Cone Implants. Surgeon manually impacts broach into bone using mallet, utilizing sequentially larger sizes to shape tibial canal to correct depth and geometry. Replaces manual burring steps; streamlines surgical workflow. Output is prepared bone cavity matching implant dimensions. Benefits patient by ensuring accurate fit for tibial cone implants, facilitating stable joint reconstruction.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. No clinical data provided.

## Technological Characteristics

2-piece manual orthopedic instrument (broach and handle). Material: 17-4 stainless steel. Operation: Manual, sequential impaction with mallet. Non-sterile, reusable. Design mimics existing cone implants to ensure anatomical fit.

## 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.

Dear Ms. Taylor:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is 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 device, 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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing

|                       | The broaches are used to prepare the tibial metaphysis; the<br>broach have teeth that are necessary to cut through bone and<br>form the tibial canal to the correct shape and depth for a<br>Trabecular Metal Tibial Cone Implant.  The broaches are<br>manually impacted, using a sequentially larger broach until<br>reaching the final size for the Implant. |

- Indications for Use: Trabecular Metal Tibial Cone Augments are intended for use where severe degeneration, trauma, or other pathology of the knee joint indicates total knee arthroplasty. When used with the NexGen Complete Knee Solution - Rotating Hinge Knee (RHK) System, the Trabecular Metal Tibial Cone Augments are for cemented use only. When used with the NexGen Complete Knee Solution - Legacy Constrained Condylar Knee System, the Trabecular Metal Tibial Cone Augments are for cementless or cemented use.
- Comparison to Predicate: Both the NexGen TM Cone Broach and the predicate broach are non-sterile, reusable manual orthopedic instruments that perform the same function as the predicate, are manufactured from identical materials, design mimics the currently marketed cone implants in order to prepare the tibial canal for Trabecular Metal Cone Implants using the same principal of operation (manual, sequential impaction with a mallet). The addition of design specific Coupled broaches and Large broach sizes provides design specific instrumentation for the full line of Cone Implants. The Large broach replaces a challenging manual burring step. The additional functionality of the instrumentation allows the surgical procedure to be streamlined. The TM Cone Broach is as safe and effective as the predicate instrumentation used to implant the Coupled, Medium and Large Trabecular Metal Cone Implants.
- Substantial Equivalence Zimmer considers this 2-piece broach equivalent to the Conclusions predicate one-piece broach based on design, size range and performance.
