Manufacturer Narrative

An event regarding pain involving a triathlon insert was reported.The event was not confirmed.Method & results: product evaluation and results: material analysis, visual, functional and dimensional inspections could not be performed as the device remains implanted.Clinician review: a review of the provided medical records by a clinical consultant indicated: "this patient underwent a primary cementless cruciate retaining total knee arthroplasty in may 2021.In november 2021 the patient underwent a revision for pain, swelling and instability with the tibial component being oversized.The tibial component was replaced and a thicker polyethylene was utilized.I can confirm that the primary and revision procedure took place since i was able to review the operation reports.I have no x-rays so i cannot determine whether the tibial component was indeed oversized or not.The root cause of these events cannot be determined with absolute certainty.The causes of early revision for pain swelling and instability are multifactorial but almost always involves surgical technique, especially in the choice of implants, positioning and kinematic restoration and ligament balance.Remotely, patient factors can contribute including activity level and bmi and whether or not trauma occurred.In this case no trauma was noted.I would not assign any causality to the implant itself.However the explanted prostheses should be submitted to stryker for evaluation and examination.Product history review: could not be performed as the device lot details were not provided.Complaint history review: could not be performed as the device lot details were not provided.Conclusions: it was reported that the patient is experiencing pain and swelling after revision.The exact cause of the event could not be determined because insufficient information was provided.Further information such as return of the device, pathology reports, pre- and post-operative x-rays and the revision 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 devices and/or additional information become available to indicate further evaluation is warranted, this record will be reopened.The following devices were also listed in this report: tri ts baseplate size 4; cat# 5521-b-400; lot# unknown.Tri cemented stem 12mmx100mm; cat# ;5560-s-212 lot# unknown.Triathlon p/a cr beaded #6r; cat# 5517f602; lot# unknown.Tritanium patella-asymmetric; cat# 5552-l-350; lot# unknown.It cannot be determined which, if any of these devices may have caused or contributed to the patient's experience.
