The Unicompartmental Knee Resurfacing Prosthesis (UniCAP™) is indicated for use as a partial replacement of the articulating surfaces of the knee when only one side of the joint is affected due to the compartmental primary degenerative or post-traumatic degenerative disease, previous tibial condyle or plateau fractures, deformity or revision of previous arthroplasty. This device is intended to be used with bone cement.
Device Story
UniCAP™ is a unicompartmental knee resurfacing system designed for partial knee replacement. The system consists of a low-profile femoral articular component (Cobalt-Chromium-Molybdenum alloy) that mates to a threaded Ti-6Al-4V ELI taper post via a taper interlock, and an all-polyethylene (UHMWPE) tibial resurfacing component. The device is implanted by a surgeon in an OR setting. It functions by resurfacing the affected knee compartment while preserving existing compartmental structures and soft tissues. The femoral component features a spray-applied CP Titanium coating on the bone-contact surface to facilitate fixation with bone cement. The tibial component is available in multiple thicknesses to accommodate varying patient anatomy. By requiring minimal bone and soft tissue resection, the device provides a precise fit, aiming to restore joint articulation and alleviate pain associated with degenerative disease or trauma.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Femoral component: Cobalt-Chromium-Molybdenum alloy (ASTM F799, ASTM F1537) with CP Titanium coating. Taper post: Ti-6Al-4V ELI alloy (ASTM F136). Tibial component: UHMWPE (ASTM D 648). System is a non-constrained, cemented, metal/polymer knee prosthesis. Components are modular with a taper interlock. Tibial thicknesses range from 6.0 mm to 7.5 mm.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring partial knee replacement due to compartmental primary or post-traumatic degenerative disease, previous tibial condyle/plateau fractures, deformity, or revision of previous arthroplasty. Intended for use with bone cement.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A knee joint femorotibial metal/polymer non-constrained cemented prosthesis is a device intended to be implanted to replace part of a knee joint. The device limits minimally (less than normal anatomic constraints) translation in one or more planes. It has no linkage across-the-joint. This generic type of device includes prostheses that have a femoral condylar resurfacing component or components made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, and a tibial component or components made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene and are intended for use with bone cement (§ 888.3027).

### Substantial Equivalence Information:
The Arthrosurface Unicompartmental Knee Resurfacing Prosthesis (UniCAP™) has been compared with the following legally marketed devices to which the sponsor claims substantial equivalence:
- Miller/Galante Precoat Unicompartmental Knee System (Zimmer, Inc.) 제 (K880155)
- Link® Endo-Model™ Sled Uni-Knee System, (Link America, Inc). . (K954186)
- EUIS® Unicompartmental Knee System (Howmedica Osteonics) l (K033769)
- Stelkast Unicondylar Knee System (Stelkast Co.) (K032824)
### Device Description Summary
The Unicompartmental Knee Resurfacing Prosthesis (UniCAP™) incorporates a low-profile femoral articular component that mates to a taper post via a taper interlock. The femoral resurfacing component articulates against an allpolyethylene tibial resurfacing component. The UniCAP™ implants allow resurfacing of the compartment utilizing the undisturbed compartmental structures and soft-tissues.
The femoral articular component is manufactured of a Cobalt-Chromium-Molybdenum alloy per ASTM F799 and ASTM F1537. The femoral articular component has a bone contact surface that is coated with a spray-applied CP Titanium coating (identical to sponsor's previously approved devices) and a xpolished articular bearing surface.
The taper post component is a cylindrical threaded stem 20mm in length, manufactured of a Ti-6AI-4V ELI alloy per ASTM F136. The post has a tapering major and minor diameter, a full-length cannulation, and a proximal female taper bore.
The tibial resurfacing component is comprised of ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) manufactured and tested to meet standards specified in ASTM D 648. The tibial component is offered in a range of thickness ( 6.0 mm, 6.5 mm, 7.0 mm and 7.5 mm) accommodate a variety of tibial surface conditions.
The components have been designed to allow a minimum amount of bone and soft tissue resection. The UniCAP™ system offers the surgeon a high degree of precision and flexibility in sizing and fitting the articular components to the existing anatomy.
