Product complaint # (b)(4).Due to new information noting that only the insert was revised, the previously reported tibial tray, femoral component, cement, and patella will now be not reportable as the surgeon elected not revise them.It is reasonable to conclude those components that were not revised were not part of the reason for the revision.Due to this, depuy synthes joint reconstruction considers the device on this report to be not reportable as there is no allegation of deficiency or patient harm, additional follow up is being conducted.Further updates will only be provided if additional information is received that changes the regulatory determination.
