Read the full statement (229 words)
Physica system is indicated for use in knee arthroplasty in skeletally mature patients with the following conditions:
* Non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease including
o osteoarthritis
o traumatic arthritis, and
o avascular necrosis (not applicable to Physica TT Tibial Plate);
* Inflammatory degenerative joint disease including rheumatoid arthritis;
* Correction of functional deformity;
* Revision procedures where other treatments or devices have failed; and
* Treatment of fractures that are unmanageable using other techniques.
Additional indications for Physica LMC component are:
* Moderate varus, valgus, or flexion deformities.
In patients with preserved and well functioning collateral ligaments, Physica PS components are also indicated for:
* Absent or not-functioning posterior cruciate ligament;
* Severe antero-posterior instability of the knee joint.
AMF Revision TT Cones are intended for use in skeletally mature patients with bone defect or poor bone quality (osteoporotic bone) or in case of sclerotic bone that requires supplemental metaphyseal fixation in the clinical judgment of the surgeon.
Femoral, tibial and patellar components of the Physica system are intended for cemented use, with the exception of Physica Porous Femoral components and Physica TT Tibial Plates that are intended for uncemented use, and tibial and femoral cones that are intended for uncemented fixation to the bone and are fixed to the femoral and tibial implants using bone cement.
Tibial liners can be used with cemented or uncemented tibial or femoral components.
Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
