In a live Internet webcast on December 6, 2007, Lawrence S.
Crossett, M.D., will perform two knee replacement surgeries using the LCS®
CompleteTM Mobile Bearing Knee Systems 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® CompleteTM 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.
