Intended Use

The Distal Femoral Growing Prosthesis System offers a treatment option for patients requiring distal femoral replacement who have not achieved full skeletal maturity (open epiphysis). The devices are single use implants.

Device Story

Distal Femoral Growing Prosthesis System reconstructs large bone defects in skeletally immature patients; utilizes rotating hinge design; allows mechanical expansion via minimally invasive procedures to maintain leg-length equality during growth. Implanted by surgeons in clinical settings; single-use; requires bone cement. Provides structural replacement for distal femur/proximal tibia; enables ongoing adjustment to accommodate pediatric growth; benefits patients by preventing limb-length discrepancy following radical resection.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Bench testing only: single-axis and multi-axis life cycle testing confirmed expansion feature stability (no collapse/retraction) under physiological loading; fatigue testing of crossover bearing component demonstrated performance comparable to predicate.

Technological Characteristics

Rotating hinge knee prosthesis; modular design; mechanical expansion mechanism. Materials, design, and sizes are similar/identical to predicates. Intended for cemented fixation. Single-use implant.

Indications for Use

Indicated for pediatric patients with open epiphysis requiring radical resection and replacement of distal femur and/or proximal tibia due to oncology, severe trauma, noninflammatory degenerative joint disease (osteoarthritis), functional deformity, rheumatoid arthritis, or revision of failed treatments. Intended for use with bone cement.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A knee joint femorotibial metal/polymer constrained cemented prosthesis is a device intended to be implanted to replace part of a knee joint. The device limits translation or rotation in one or more planes and has components that are linked together or affined. This generic type of device includes prostheses composed of a ball-and-socket joint located between a stemmed femoral and a stemmed tibial component and a runner and track joint between each pair of femoral and tibial condyles. The ball-and-socket joint is composed of a ball at the head of a column rising from the stemmed tibial component. The ball, the column, the tibial plateau, and the stem for fixation of the tibial component are made of an alloy, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum. The ball of the tibial component is held within the socket of the femoral component by the femoral component's flat outer surface. The flat outer surface of the tibial component abuts both a reciprocal flat surface within the cavity of the femoral component and flanges on the femoral component designed to prevent distal displacement. The stem of the femoral component is made of an alloy, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, but the socket of the component is made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene. The femoral component has metallic runners which align with the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene tracks that press-fit into the metallic tibial component. The generic class also includes devices whose upper and lower components are linked with a solid bolt passing through a journal bearing of greater radius, permitting some rotation in the transverse plane, a minimal arc of abduction/adduction. This generic type of device is limited to those prostheses intended for use with bone cement (§ 888.3027).

#### Description

The Distal Femoral Growing Prosthesis System provides a means to reconstruct large bone defects resulting from bone resection in skeletally immature patients. The device can be expanded as a patient grows so that leg-length equality can be achieved. The device utilizes a rotating hinge design. The expansion process is mechanical and is conducted with subsequent minimally invasive procedures following the initial implantation surgery.

#### Intended Use

The Distal Femoral Growing Prosthesis System offers a treatment option for patients requiring distal femoral replacement who have not achieved full skeletal maturity (open epiphysis). The devices are single use implants.

{1}------------------------------------------------

## Indications

The Distal Femoral Growing Prosthesis is indicated for pediatric who have not achieved full skeletal maturity (open epiphysis), where radical resection and replacement of the distal femur and or/proximal tibia is required with the following conditions:

- . Oncology indications
- Severe trauma .
- Noninflammatory degenerative joint disease including osteoarthritis .
- Correction of functional deformity ◆
- Rheumatoid arthritis ●
- Revision procedures where other treatments or devices have failed .

The devices are single use implants and intended only for implantation with bone cement.

Compatible components of the GMRS, MRH, MRS, and KRH when used with the Distal Femoral Growing Prosthesis are intended for use in pediatric patients for the abovementioned indications.

#### Summary of Technologies

The technological characteristics (material, design, sizes, and operational principles) of the Distal Femoral Growing Prosthesis System are similar or identical to its predicate devices.

## Non-Clinical Testing

Non-clinical laboratory testing was performed to determine substantial equivalence. Single-axis and multi-axis life cycle testing of the Distal Femoral Growing Prosthesis was conducted to verify that the expansion feature of the device will not cause the subject component to collapse/retract before, after and during physiological loading. All specimens tested ran out without evidence of collapse of the device. Fatigue testing was also conducted on the Distal Femoral Growing Prosthesis crossover bearing component. All test specimens withstood physiological loading as compared to the predicate device.

### Clinical Testing

Clinical testing was not required for this submission.

## Conclusion

The Distal Femoral Growing Prosthesis System devices are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices identified in this premarket notification.
