The manufacturer became aware of a post market clinical follow-up report received from (b)(6).The title of this report is ¿a retrospective data collection of the treatment of degenerative or post-traumatic disabilities in the metacarpophalangeal (mcp) and proximal interphalangeal (pip) joints with the silicone and preflex prostheses¿ which is associated with the stryker ¿silicone pip and preflex mcp¿ prosthesis.This study includes research done on 109 patients (142 implants) requiring surgery between the period 2007 and 2019.It was not possible to ascertain specific device details from the report, or to match the events reported with previously reported complaints.Therefore, new complaint was initiated in the system for the post-operative complication mentioned in the report.This product inquiry addresses bad joint stability and rupture of pip on d2 (radiographic control-ulnar off-axis, rupture) which will be reimplanted.The report states: ¿in the last case, the patient, implanted on pip of d2 and d3, presented 39 months later with osteoarthritis on d4 (treated without surgery), and the diagnosis of the rupture on d2 and d3 was therefore established by chance.The patient, content with the absence of pain, did not seem to have noticed the ruptures.In this case, the 39-month period for determining the survivorship of the prosthesis is not to be taken into account.¿.
