H3, h6: the device, used in treatment, was not returned for evaluation and the reported event could not be confirmed.The clinical/medical investigation concluded that, per complaint details, a non-displaced 2-3mm vertical tibial fracture was observed when using a jii xr posterior keel punch tib sz 3-4 ((b)(4)) and a jii xr tibia sz 3-8 anterior keel punch ((b)(4) during the tka procedure.Reportedly the implantation of the xr tibia baseplate was completed using the same instrument, as planned/without further intervention or delay, and no further action was taken to treat the noted fracture.It was communicated that the patient status would not be known until the post-op visit.The clinical root cause of the reported event could not be definitively concluded based on the limited information provided.The patient impact beyond the reported non-displaced 2-3mm vertical tibial fracture could not be determined.No further medical assessment could be rendered at this time.Should clinically relevant documentation/information become available and/or a product evaluation conclusion results in findings which are deemed clinically relevant, the clinical/medical task may be re-evaluated.A review of complaint history did not reveal additional complaints for the listed device.At this time, we have no reason to suspect that the product failed to meet any product specifications at the time of manufacture.Some potential probable causes for this event could include but are not limited to user/procedural error.Based on this investigation, the need for corrective action is not indicated.Without the return of the actual product involved, our investigation could not proceed.Should the device or additional information be received, the complaint will be reopened.No further investigation is warranted for this complaint; however, we will continue to monitor for future complaints and investigate as necessary.
