Reported risk: Depuy Orthopaedics Inc., is issuing a device correction for all lots of the LCS complete RPS Knee System and advising surgeons that the product labeling will be revised to include a warning that states the patella must be resurfaced when using this system. According to data from the Australian Orthopaedic Association National Joint Replacement Registry, failure to resurface the patella has been associated with a higher incidence of postoperative patello-femoral pain, potentially leading to a secondary procedure.
