H3, h6: the device was not returned for evaluation but the reported event could be confirmed with the x rays image provided.The clinical/medical investigation concluded that, based on the x-ray imaging provided, the user technique could not be ruled out as a potential contributing factor to the reported event.The patient impact beyond the reported femoral condyle fracture and possible future revision and/or medical/ surgical intervention could not be determined.The current patient status is unknown.No further medical assessment can be rendered at this time.A review of the manufacturing records did not reveal a manufacturing abnormality that could have caused or contributed to the reported incident.A review of complaint history for the part number over the past 12 months and for the batch number based on historical data of the device did not reveal similar events for the listed device.A review of the instructions for use documents for knee systems revealed that improper fixation, and/or migration of the components could cause possible adverse effects and implant can become damaged as a result of strenuous activity or trauma.The patient should be warned of surgical risks, and made aware of possible adverse effects, this information has been identified as warnings and precautions.A review of the risk management file revealed this failure mode was previously identified.The anticipated risk level is still adequate.A historical review concluded that there are no prior actions related to this product and event.At this time, we have no reason to suspect that the product failed to meet any product specifications at the time of manufacture.Factors and/or potential causes that could contribute to the reported event include excessive forces applied to implant and surgical technique.The contribution of the device to the reported event could be corroborated as the femoral condyle fractured and a revision surgery is being considering.Based on this investigation, the need for corrective action is not indicated.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.We consider this investigation closed.
