> according to the information received ¿revision of a sigma pfc ps rp total knee.Reason for revision was due to poly spin out.This occurred approximately 1 year ago.The primary surgery was done on (b)(6) 2005.¿ the physical device was not returned, however photos were provided for review.The photos provided with the complaint consisted of ¿coulter.Sigma poly.1.Jpg¿, ¿coulter.Sigma poly.2.Jpg¿, ¿coulter.Sigma poly.3.Jpg¿ and ¿coulter.Sigma poly.4.Jpg¿ of the device 951040 pfc sig rpf ins sz 4 10mm.The photos were forwarded to depuy synthes material science for further evaluation.Review of the photos found wear, delamination, crazing, and other damage consistent with ~15 years of service with articular wear and loading within anticipated regions of the insert.The superior cam of the insert is damaged consistent with spinout between the femoral component and the mating articular portions of the tibial insert.With the gross loss of material and fracture of the posterior aspect of the insert, coupled with the damage to the superior cam, it seems likely the insert rotated 180 degrees with respect to the femoral component (while still retained within the cone of the tibial tray).A manufacturing records evaluation (mre) was not performed as no valid finished goods lot number was provided for this device.Based on the observations of the given information, is not possible to determine a definitive root cause of the spinout.The information received will be retained for potential series investigations if triggered by trend analysis, post market surveillance, or other events within the quality system.Depuy synthes considers the investigation closed at this time.Should additional information be received, the information will be reviewed and the investigation will be re-opened as necessary.Device history lot
