Manufacturer Narrative
|
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.

Operative notes received.On (b)(6) 2014, the patient underwent a left primary knee arthroplasty with no complications.On (b)(6) 2023, the patient underwent a revision of the tibial insert secondary to recurrent hemarthrosis.Prior to surgery, he had multiple episodes of nontraumatic swelling and pain.He was aspirated 3 times prior to the revision.Intraoperatively, hypertrophic synovium was identified due to possible impingement between the components causing bleeding.Posterolateral flexion instability was also identified.There was also lateral instability requiring release of the superficial mcl and an upsize of the insert.A wear stripe was identified on the patella but it was not revised.
