Reported event: an event regarding loosening of the tibial stem involving a patient specific distal femur was reported.The event was confirmed by medical review.Method and results: product evaluation and results: not performed as no items were returned.Clinician review: the implant in situ was for a distal femoral replacement which was inserted on (b)(6) 2015.The surgeon reported that the tibial stem has loosened.The x-ray provided showed that the tibial stem is smaller than the tibial cavity in the front view and some bone resorption and bone remodelling in the lateral view of the x-ray.Therefore, the radiographic review can confirm the reason for revision.Product history review: review of the product history records indicate 1 device was manufactured and accepted into final stock on 21aug2015 with no reported discrepancies.Complaint history review: based on the device identification the complaint databases were reviewed from (b)(6) 2017 to present for similar reported events regarding loosening of the tibial stem involving patient specific distal femoral replacement.There has been 1 other event.Conclusions: an event regarding loosening of the tibial stem involving a patient specific distal femur was reported.The event was confirmed by medical review.The exact cause of the event could not be determined because further information such as the 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 as no devices and/or insufficient information was received by siw.If devices and/or additional information become available to indicate further evaluation is warranted, this record will be re-opened.
