Manufacturer Narrative

The reported event that tibial comp,singlecoated us version, large was alleged of tibial revision and poly exchange could be confirmed.The device inspection revealed the following: the pe sliding core shows various signs of wear, such that it is trimmed on one of its lateral sides and scratched in several areas.This was likely produced by the articulation with the talar component.The tibial component showed signs of use in the form of scratches, but no significant damage.Some bone residues are still attached to the returned device, proving that osteo-integration happened between the bone and the implant.Overall the results of the stage 1 analysis are consistent with well-positioned and well-functioning devices implanted for approximately 3.5 years.For this case, since some radiographs of the implanted patient were returned, the medical opinion of stryker's medical expert was requested.Their statement is the following: " i have reviewed the implant, report and radiographs.The surgeon [of the procedure] feels the need for removal was the thinning of the poly, as seen this is not the case.What is apparent is the subsidence of the talar component.Subsidence of the talar component in star is of major concern and if left untreated will affect the stability of the ankle joint, leaving it prone to shortening, varus, valgus or translation on the sagittal plane.It certainly appears from the radiographs of 10/31/17 that the talar component has subsided into the talus.The choice to remove the poly and the review of the explanted poly, does not seem reasonable.This scenario is not directly related to the star implant." a review of the device history for the reported lot did not indicate any abnormalities.No corrective actions are required at this time.A review of the labeling did not indicate any abnormalities.No indications of material, manufacturing or design related problems were found during the investigation.If any further information is provided, the investigation report will be updated.
