## Indications for use
The Smith & Nephew, Inc. Journey Select Knee System is intended to be used for those patients whereby conditions exist that may not be solely addressed by a device that treats a single, compartment.

Indications include 1. Post-traumnatic arthritis; 2. Degenerative arthritis; and 3. Failed osteotomies and unicompartmental replacement. These indications will be used for the Journey Select Knee System, whereby a single condyle and patellofemoral regions of the knee have been affected by one or more of these conditions. The implant devices of the Smith & Nephew. Inc. Journey Select Knee System are single use only and are intended for implantation only with bone cement.
