According to the FDA, the LPS Diaphyseal Sleeve is intended for use with the LPS System which is an end-stage revision knee product that allows surgeons to reconstruct severe soft tissue and bony defects.
The federal agency has received 10 reports of the device malfunctioning.
The recalled devices were manufactured from 2008 to July 2012.
A facture in the sleeve at the taper joint may result in the loss of function, loss of limb, infection, compromised soft tissue or death.
