LPS Proximal Trochanteric Femoral Body - Revision coated hip femur prosthesis

Intended purpose

The LPS Proximal Trochanteric Femoral Body is the proximal femoral component of the LPS System and is intended for use in replacement of the proximal femur, especially in cases that require extensive resection and replacement. Specific diagnostic indications for use include: • malignant tumors (e.g., osteosarcomas, chondrosarcomas, giant cell tumors, bone tumors) requiring extensive resection and replacement; • patient conditions of noninflammatory degenerative joint disease (NIDJD), e.g., avascular necrosis, osteoarthritis, and inflammatory joint disease (IJD), e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, requiring extensive resection and replacement; • revision cases for a failed previous prosthesis requiring extensive resection and replacement; • severe trauma requiring extensive resection and replacement. The LPS System is also intended for use in bone loss post-infection, where the surgeon has elected to excise the bone and replacement is required.

Functional description

The LPS Proximal Trochanteric Femoral Body is made from titanium and is porous coated to allow tissue ingrowth. It mates with segmental components, stem extensions and sleeves and accepts a femoral head. Suture holes allow for suture fixation of soft tissue.
