Brief Summary

This prospective study wants to demonstrate the safety and clinical performance of the 5C® MEDic Knee System following total knee arthroplasty. Additionally, all observed product-related complications are documented during the course of the follow-up study. These observations help to re-assess current (known) risks and identify new ones. The data obtained during this study is part of the post market surveillance.

The patient will receive the 5C® MEDic Knee System (manufactured by implantcast GmbH). 5. The implantation will be performed according to the medical indications listed in the product specific Instruction for Use (IFU): 1. Non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease including osteoarthritis and avascular necrosis, 2. Post-traumatic osteoarthritis 3. Treatment of fractures that are unmanageable using other surgical techniques 4. Rheumatoid arthritis 5. Revision arthroplasty (revision prosthesis) 6. The patient is willing and able to follow all study specific procedures and to attend the follow-up visits at the study site 7. The patient agrees to be contacted by telephone or by mail. Exclusion Criteria: 1. The patient is \<18 years of age, or unable to understand and sign a written informed consent form or legally incompetent or limited in his legal capacity. 2.

Bone tumors in the implant fixation area. 12. Has an untreated vascular diseases which limit blood supply to the affected limb, in the opinion of the investigator 13. Has a metabolic disorders that may impair bone formation. 14. In case of insufficient quantity and quality of bone stock, an alternative prosthetic treatment allowing for sufficient bony fixation should be considered. 15. Has severe axis deviation in treated knee under study and/or non-treated knee. 16. Ligament instability in treated knee under study. 17. Participation in an interventional trial with an investigational medicinal product (IMP) or device within the last four weeks before Screening. 18.
