Event Description

It was reported that, on (b)(6) 2020 the patient had 11 degrees of varus knee alignment which was corrected to neutral during ukr of medial compartment on (b)(6) 2020.On (b)(6) 2020, patient presented pain in the lateral knee compartment.Therefore, on (b)(6) 2020 the patient had a uka of the lateral compartment.The pre-operative and 3 months post-operative radiographic evaluation could possibly explain the overloading of lateral compartment and subsequent need for additional ukr on the lateral side.On (b)(6) 2021, the patient following implantation of an additional uni knee prosthesis into the same knee, experienced loosening of the initial (medial) uni knee tibial component.Therefore, on (b)(6) 2021 the patient had another revision surgery where both uni knees were explanted and a tka was implanted.The explants are not available for analysis, nor operative reports and x-rays yet.
