A metal-backed patella prosthesis is an implant used in knee replacement surgery to replace the kneecap (patella) when it is damaged or worn. It provides a durable, articulating surface that works with the prosthetic femur to restore knee function, often used in primary or revision knee arthroplasty procedures.
These devices are typically regulated as surgical implants, with classification and supply rules varying by jurisdiction. They are generally supplied sterile and intended for single-use, though some may be designed for cemented or cementless fixation depending on clinical needs.
