Manufacturer Narrative

Reported event: an event regarding loosening and crack/fracture involving a triathlon baseplate was reported.The event was confirmed only for loosening based on medical records method & results: product evaluation and results: material analysis, visual, functional and dimensional inspections could not be performed as the device was not returned.Clinician review: a review of the provided medical records by a clinical consultant stated the following comment: 10/27/2020: stryker pi report.On 06/06/2017: operative note.¿op note revision #1¿.Suspected aseptic loosening of tibia.Leukocyte esterase negative.Tibia grossly loose.Femoral component fixed.But removed so as to use semi constrained implant.Cemented with vanco added.Used #2 femur, #3 tibia and 50mm stems.Poly 3x16mm ps (x-ray shows a ts poly).On 10/27/2020: operative note.¿op note revision #2¿.Aseptic loosening right knee s/p 2 prior operations.Fluid sent for cx.Low cell count.Histology chronic inflammation.Tibia grossly loose.Significant bone loss around femur.Appeared loose.All removed.Cement mantle removed with burr.Small opening in cortex of tibia.Reamed.Mcl and lcl intact.Prepared with augments.Rinsed with providone-iodine and added vanco powder.Stable trialing.Final implants #2 tibia, #2 femur, 5 mm semi augment med tibia, cone d on tibia, bilobed augment on femur, 1 and 2 right, stem 14x100 both and a 19mm poly.Undated: preop x-rays right knee.Varus djd with some patellar subluxation undated: ¿pre-revision #1¿ right knee.Cemented implant with lucency and likely change in position of tibia lift off lateral.Bilateral knees present.Undated: ¿pre-revision #2¿ x-rays right knee.Complete failure of the tibial component now in marked varus.Some lucency on lateral femur.(note ts polyethylene) undated: ¿revision #2¿ x-rays.Long stem cemented triathlon revision.Cement extravasation from tibia likely posterolateral defect as well as likely fracture at posterior tibial cone.Confirmation: a failed primary cemented knee, revision of said knee and subsequent failure of the revision and a second revision surgery may be confirmed from the operative notes and x-rays provided.Root cause: the root cause of what appeared to be aseptic loosening and failure of a primary and revision knee cannot be ascertained without evaluating additional medical records and perhaps the explants.Product history review: all devices were manufactured and accepted into final stock with no relevant reported discrepancies.  complaint history review: there have been no other similar events for the lot referenced.Conclusions: it was reported that patient was revised due to aseptic loosening of the tibia, and "around the femur, there was also extensive amount of bone loss and the femur appeared to be also loose.The event was confirmed for only loosening based on medical records.A review of the provided medical records by a clinical consultant stated the following comment: 10/27/2020: stryker pi
