Additional information for investigation: according to the legal documentation, the patient was revised "due to implant loosening and significant synovitis.The postoperative diagnosis confirmed left total knee arthroplasty failed due to significant loosening, which is related to the failure in the polyethylene." according to exactech's surgery database and the information provided in the initial complaint submission, the surgeon elected to revise the patient's 11mm cr tibial insert to an 11mm crc tibial insert.The femoral component and tibial tray were not revised.Therefore, it does not appear that this revision was the result of loosening.The revision reported may have been the result of pain and synovitis as stated in the complaint submission.An additional contributing factor to the revision may have been inclusion of the implanted polyethylene component in the packaging recall.However, this cannot be confirmed as the device was not returned for evaluation and radiographs were not provided.
