Please note the correction made to the h6 (results, conclusion & health impact code): the reported event was confirmed since images of ct scans were provided and shows loosening and migration of the tibial component.Upon further investigation of the ct scans by healthcare professionals the following was observed: ¿the tibial component shows severe radiolucence, there are also cysts, both indicate loosening.It is dislocated posteriorly and separated from the respective talar component, therefore we have migration and luxation/separation from the talar component.The pe seems to be in place attached to the tibial component but as the whole talar component/talus/foot is luxated anteriorly, an x-ray could give more information, here.The talar component has a little bit of radiolucence, however, this would not be sufficient to confirm loosening.There are also no signs of migration of the component.¿ based on investigation, the root cause was attributed to a patient related issue.A review of the device history was not possible because the lot number was not communicated.No corrective actions are required at this time.A review of the labeling did not indicate any abnormalities.Indications of material, manufacturing, or design related problems were unable to be identified as the catalog number and lot number were not communicated.If the device is returned or if any additional information is provided, the investigation will be reassessed.
