After further review of additional information received the following sections g3, g4, g7, h2 and h3 have been updated accordingly.(h3) upon review of all available information, there is no evidence to suggest that a design or manufacturing issue caused or contributed to this event.The reported revision was likely the result of underlying patient factors, which led to instability of the joint.Per ifu# 700-096-004 instability is a known complication following total knee replacement surgery and is multifactorial in nature.Instability is listed as a potential adverse event associated with total joint replacement surgery in the product ifu (700-096-004).As noted in why are total knee arthroplasties failing today¿has anything changed after 10 years?
