The patient-specific Bodycad Unicompartmental Knee System (Bodycad UKS) is indicated for unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) in patients with advanced knee osteoarthritis (OA) of the medial compartment with evidence of adequate healthy bone to support the implanted components. Candidates for unicompartmental knee replacement include those with:

• joint impairment due to osteoarthritis or traumatic arthritis of the knee,

• varus deformity of the knee, and

• as an alternative to tibial osteotomy in patients with unicompartmental OA.

The patient-specific Bodycad UKS components fit within an envelope of dimensions that are specific to each patient. The Bodycad UKS femoral component and tibial baseplate are intended for cemented fixation. The Bodycad screws must be used for fixation of the femoral and tibial components.

Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
