Read the full statement (182 words)

The iBalance UKA Tibial Tray Implant is part of the iBalance UKA System, which is indicated for use in unicompartmental knee arthroplasty as a result of:

» Moderately disabling joint disease of the knee resulting from painful osteoarthritis or post traumatic arthritis;

* Correction of functional deformities;

* Revision of previous unsuccessful unicompartmental knee replacement or other procedure;

* As an alternative to tibial osteotomy in patients with unicompartmental osteoarthritis.

These components are single use only and are intended for implantation with bone cement.

When used concurrently, the Arthrex iBalance UKA and PFJ systems, create the Arthrex iBalance BiCompartmental Arthroplasty System. The Arthrex iBalance BiCompartmental Arthroplasty System is intended to be used as a multi-compartmental knee arthroplasty in patients with:

- Moderately disabling joint disease of the knee resulting from painful osteoarthritis or post traumatic arthritis;

- Correction of functional deformities;

- Revision of previous unsuccessful partial knee replacement or other procedure.

The BiCompartmental Arthroplasty System is not intended to be used as a dual-condyle or tri-compartmental knee.

These components are single use only and are intended for implantation with bone cement.

Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA summary, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
