Event or Problem Description
Approximately 4 years postop the initial ltsa, a surgeon ¿inherited¿ this (b)(6) y/o male patient and determined to complete a revision.The liner was disassociated from the tibial tray.On further inspection the feeling was it was not correctly locked into the posterior of the tray and was forced impacted in.The surgeon went from a size 5/9mm ps to a size 5/15mm ps insert.Patient was last known to be in stable condition following the event.The device will be returned.
 
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
After further review of additional information received the following sections d9, g3, g7, h2, h3 and h6 have been updated accordingly.(h3) the revision reported was likely the result of the tibial insert disassociating from the tibial tray, possibly due to incomplete seating of the tibial insert at the time of implantation, patient-related conditions, a post traumatic event, or any combination of these possibilities.The most probable root cause associated with the reported event of "disassembled / misassembled" is associated with the unwanted disassembly of the device, or incorrect assembly of the device (attaching mating instrumentation incorrectly, assembling an implant construct off-axis, etc.)l" is weakened integration of the femoral component at the bone-implant interface due to loss of fibrous and/or bony tissue and leading to compromised anchorage of the device.
