As part of normal complaint follow-up, an evaluation of the event has been conducted by mako surgical.According to the surgeon, there was no loosening of the tibial or femoral components.Removing the onlay tibial insert was required to facilitate inspection of the femoral and tibial components, and the removal process damages the insert.Therefore, the surgeon replaced the onlay tibial insert with a new component of the same size and model number.No further adverse events have been reported for this pt; the reason for the originally reported discomfort is inconclusive.
