Manufacturer Narrative

Reported event: an event regarding loosening involving a triathlon patella was reported.The event was not confirmed.Method & results: device evaluation and results: not performed as product remained implanted.Clinician review: a review of the provided medical records by a clinical consultant indicated: conclusion of assessment: this inquiry reports a complaint of a patient who is over 3 years following total knee arthroplasty.She complains of pain and swelling and she states she has been told the implant is loose and requires revision surgery.I cannot confirm that this event (loosening) took place since i was not able to view any documentation for this except a radiology report of demineralization more prominent at 4 weeks postoperative.There is no clinical evidence provided to substantiate the report.Regarding the possible root cause of this event, there is no evidence that loosening occurred so i cannot opine on a root cause.As far as my knowledge of the implant, there has been no recall of any of the components.Stryker would have to confirm this.Device history review: could not be performed as lot code information was not provided. complaint history review: could not be performed as lot code information was not provided. conclusion: the event could not be confirmed as insufficient information was provided.Further information primary operative report as well as patient history and follow-up notes are needed to complete the investigation for determining root cause.No further investigation for this event is possible at this time.If additional information become available to indicate further evaluation is warranted, this record will be reopened.
