Event Description

It was reported that the patient who underwent unicompartmental knee arthroplasty experienced a tibia bone fracture postoperatively.The implants remain in the patient's body.The surgeon commented that the tibial cementless base plate is larger than the actual dimensions indicated on the label, and the cementless base plate with a larger dimension than indicated may have been used, resulting in a tibial fracture.Attempts have been made and no further information has been provided.

Manufacturer Narrative

(b)(4).This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional information.The product remains implanted; therefore, visual and dimensional evaluations could not be performed.A review of the device manufacturing records confirmed no abnormalities or deviations.Device is used for treatment.Radiographs were provided and reviewed by a radiologist.The review identified initial anatomic alignment of the right knee medial unicompartmental arthroplasty complicated by a periprosthetic fracture of the medial tibia with implant loosening and subsidence.Osteopenia.Initial fit and alignment were maintained.2 month imaging demonstrates tibial implant loosening and subsidence with malalignment secondary to a tibial periprosthetic fracture.Bone quality is osteopenic.The tibial implant is loose with subsidence and malalignment secondary to the periprosthetic fracture as noted.There is a medial tibial periprosthetic fracture.The degree of osteopenia present could contribute to a fracture in this patient.With the available information, a definitive root cause could not be determined however, osteopenia could be a contributing factor.If any further information is found which would change or alter any conclusions or information, a supplemental report will be filed accordingly.Zimmer biomet will continue to monitor for trends.
