Event Description
|
The quantum® total ankle prosthesis is indicated as a total ankle replacement in primary or revision surgery for patients with ankle joints damaged by severe rheumatoid, post-traumatic, or degenerative arthritis.The quantum® total ankle prosthesis is a fixed-bearing, semi-constraint ankle prothesis with 2 components and composed of: - a tibial component composed of a metallic (ta6v) tibial tray implant fixed to a polymer (uhwmpe) insert, - a metallic (cocr) talar implant reproducing the talus dome anatomy.When all components are implanted, with the insert rigidly locked to the tibial tray, the polyethylene insert acts as a single bearing along the talar dome, enabling flexion/extension and rotation movement at the replaced ankle joint.Each component of the quantum® total ankle prosthesis exists in different sizes and models.Event description : one surgeon based in france reported 6 cases of lucency (borders on xrays) around the tibial component associated to pain for 5 of his patients (3 of them might need a revision surgery later).Additional information are to be collected and investigations are in progress.
