Correction b2, the reported event could not be confirmed, since the device was not returned for evaluation and no other evidences were provided.The device inspection was not possible as the product was not returned for investigation.The device history record could not be reviewed because the affected device was not returned, and the lot number was not communicated.A review of the labeling did not indicate any abnormalities.Formal medical opinion was sought from an experienced independent medical expert as below.¿the ct scan of this case shows the tracks of an earlier trans-articular ankle nail which has been removed before the index surgery.At the time the tract was filled with bone cement, which also has been removed.The tibial inbone component has a sclerotic line and a thin radiolucent area surrounding it, the latter can be an image artifact, but is may also be indicative as an early sign of loosening.The tibial tray looks well-fixed, however.The pe-liner looks intact, yet a retrieval is necessary for definitive conclusions.The talar component has subsided, most likely due to the poorer quality of the talar bone after the earlier surgery.More clinical information is needed to assess the root cause (indication for revision), because amongst others, a low-grade infection could play a role in this case.¿ if device is returned or any further information is provided, the investigation report will be reassessed.
