The affected genesis ii dished insert, genesis ii cmt tibial baseplate and genesis ii oxinium femoral component were not returned for evaluation.A review of the manufacturing records for the listed batches did not reveal any deviation from the standard manufacturing processes.A review of the complaint history for the listed parts revealed no prior complaints for the listed failure mode.A clinical evaluation noted that without the supporting lab/pathology results, imaging, and/or the analysis of the explanted components, the root cause of the reported pain, arthrofibrosis, flexion instability, and excessive valgus angle cannot be confirmed and it cannot be concluded that the reported events were associated with a mal-performance of the implant.The patient impact beyond the pain, revision, and expected transient post-op convalescence period cannot be determined.No further clinical assessment is warranted at this time.Without the return of the actual product involved, our investigation of this report is inconclusive.No further investigation is warranted for this complaint; however we will continue to monitor for future complaints and investigate as necessary.Should the device or additional information be received, the complaint will be reopened.
