LCS Complete Knee Replacement System (Visit this link)
In a live Internet webcast on A unique first hand
surgical insight into the new high flexion primary knee & revison
knee system
December 6, 2007, Lawrence S.
Crossett, M.D., will perform two knee replacement surgeries using the
LCS®
Complete™ from DePuy Orthopaedics, Inc. This
broadcast will take place at the University of Pittsburgh Medical
Center (UPMC)
Shady Side Hospital in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
At 3 PM EST, Dr. Crossett will perform a revision knee
replacement surgery using a new revision implant, the LCS®
Complete™ System.
This system helps diffuse loosening forces from the increased
mechanical
constraint and offers surgeons increased fixation through the use of
metaphyseal sleeves on the femoral and tibial side.
At 6 PM EST, Dr. Crossett will perform a primary knee
replacement surgery that will highlight the LCS® Complete RPS, a
mobile-bearing
knee implant that is designed to provide increased range of motion
while
sparing the patient’s natural, healthy bone tissue.
