Read the full statement (220 words)
The DePuy Universal Femoral Metaphyseal Sleeve and Universal Stem components are
intended for use with the PFC, Sigma PFC, Sigma TC3 Revision Knee, or S-ROM knee
prostheses in total knee replacement surgery for patients suffering from severe pain and
disability due to permanent structural damage resulting from rheumatoid arthritis,
osteoarthritis, post-traumatic arthritis, collagen disorders, pseudogout, trauma or failed
prior surgical intervention. These devices are intended for cemented use only.
The DePuy Universal Femoral Metaphyseal Sleeve and Universal Stem components are
also intended for use with the DePuy LPS prosthesis for replacement of the mid-shaft
portion of the femur, proximal, distal and/or total femur, and proximal tibia, 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 for failed previous prosthesis cases
requiring extensive resection and replacement; severe trauma requiring extensive
resection and replacement. The LPS prosthesis is also intended for use in bone loss post-
infection, where the surgeon has elected to excise the bone and replacement is required.
The Universal Stem and the Universal Metaphyseal Sleeve component are intended for
cemented use only.
Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
