The patient underwent a revision surgery on (b)(6) 2022 due to a broken eleos poly spacer.During the procedure, dr.(b)(6) removed and replaced the broken poly spacer, the tibial hinge component, and the distal femur axial pin.No issues were reported for the tibial hinge component and distal femur axial pin; therefore, these devices are concomitant.The patient was initially implanted with eleos devices on (b)(6) 2019; however, device specific details are unknown.A review of the work orders and sterilization batch release records could not be completed due to lack of productinformation.The root cause for this complaint could not be determined conclusively.As the device was implanted for approximately three years, it is possible that residual post-operative motion may have contributed to the alleged damage to the poly spacer.However, as the device was not available for evaluation, further investigation was not possible.If additional information becomes available, this record will be updated accordingly.
