DePuy The LCS Total Knee System's femoral, patellar and tibial articular geometry ensures congruent contact of the articulating surfaces throughout the principle load bearing segment. The LCS Knee System is the most clinically proven mobile bearing knee system on the market today. The LCS Knee has proven over 15 years that full congruity can succeed if the design allows for mobility. 1 Femoral component allows congruent articulation, which reduces contact stress and may increase the long-term potential success of the component.
Patellar component reduces contact stress while providing mobility.
Only the rotating platform prosthesis is indicated for revision of failed knee prostheses. The Rotating Platform device configuration is indicated for use in knees whose anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments are absent or are in such condition as to justify their sacrifice. The use of the LCS Total Knee is contraindicated in the presence of osteomyelitis, pyogenic infection or other overt infection of the knee joint. The use of the LCS Total Knee is contraindicated in patients with any active infection at sites such as the genitourinary tract, pulmonary system, skin or any other site. Should a patient have any infection prior to implantation, the foci of the infection must be treated prior to, during and after implantation.
