Event or Problem Description
As reported, approximately fifteen years post initial left tka, the (b)(6) male patient had a full revision going to a constrained knee.Patient's revision was due to instability of femoral component.There was poly wear and metallosis due to the 8mm tibial spacer and osteolysis was also present.Patient was revised to a size 4 left constrained femur with splined stems in the femur and tibia as well as metaphyseal cones and a 25 mm constrained liner.There was no device breakage or surgical delay/prolongation.Patient was last known to be in stable condition following the event.X-rays and photos received.The devices will be returned.As of note: "patient was revised in 2014 with loosening of the tibia and the size 4/13mm posters stabilized tibial insert reference number 204¿24¿13 with serial number (b)(4).Is a non-conformed insert that it is on the list of polys".
 
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
(h3) the revision reported was likely the result of patient-related conditions including the fall reported, malalignment, instability, third body wear, or any combination of these possibilities, which led to prosthesis wear, osteolysis, and metallosis.Additionally, a contributing factor to the wear and delamination may have been the result of being packaged in a non-conforming vacuum bag for more than five years.The most probable root cause associated with the reported event of "prosthesis wear¿ is associated with material damage to a surface, usually involving progressive loss or displacement of material, due to relative motion between that surface and a contacting substance or substances.
