Manufacturer Narrative
|
The returned tibial base plate was examined visually.The purpose of this investigation was to determine the cause for the fracture of the tibial base plate.The base plate was fractured into two pieces.Examination of the fracture surface revealed that fatigue was the fracture mechanism due to the presence of fatigue striations.Examination also revealed lack of cement adhesion to the posterior aspect of the plateau which could potentially lead to loosening.The cause of the tibial base plate fracture was likely due to fatigue loading in excess of the strength of the tray not properly supported by the bone / cement interface.
