## Indications for Use

The LPS Intercalary component is intended for use in primary and revision knee joint replacement and in oncology cases with the Limb Preservation System (LPS). The previously cleared indications for use for this systems are the following: The Limb Preservation System (LPS) is intended for use in 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., osteosarcoma, chondrosarcoma, 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 is also intended for use in bone loss post-infection, where the surgeon has elected to excise the bone and replacement is required. The distal femoral component, the tibial components, tibial stems, metaphyseal sleeves, and the non-porous coated straight and bowed stems are intended for cemented use only.

## Device Story

LPS Dovetail Intercalary is a 3-piece segmental orthopedic implant (55 mm length) designed for use within the Limb Preservation System (LPS). It consists of a male segment, a female segment, and a connecting pin; segments are joined via a dovetail connection and secured with a locking pin. Used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical settings to replace resected bone segments in the femur or tibia. The device provides structural support for patients undergoing extensive bone resection due to tumors, trauma, or degenerative disease. It functions as a mechanical spacer/connector within the broader LPS prosthesis assembly.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; bench testing only.

## Technological Characteristics

3-piece assembly (male segment, female segment, connecting pin); material: cobalt chrome; connection type: dovetail with locking pin; length: 55 mm; intended for cemented use only.

## Regulatory Identification

A knee joint patellofemorotibial polymer/metal/polymer semi-constrained cemented prosthesis is a device intended to be implanted to replace a knee joint. The device limits translation and rotation in one or more planes via the geometry of its articulating surfaces. It has no linkage across-the-joint. This generic type of device includes prostheses that have a femoral component made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, and a tibial component or components and a retropatellar resurfacing component made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene. This generic type of device is limited to those prostheses intended for use with bone cement (§ 888.3027).

# 510(k) Summary (continued) LPS Dovetail Intercalary

K0411085

### D. Device Description:

The intercalary component serves as a segmental component in the previously cleared Limb Preservation System (LPS, K003182). The dovetail intercalary component is a 3piece assembly 55 mm in length. The three pieces are comprised of a male segment, a female segment and a connecting pin. The male-female parts connect as a dovetail connection and locked with a pin screwed through both segments. The dovetail intercalary component is made of cobalt chrome.

#### E. Substantial Equivalence:

The substantial equivalence of the LPS Dovetail Intercalary is substantiated by its similarity in sterilization, packaging and indications for use to the LPS (K003182 cleared on June 27, 2001). The design and materials of the LPS Dovetail Intercalary have been modified from the existing LPS Intercalary component cleared in K003182, however DePuy believes this new component is substantially equivalent.
