Event or Problem Description
As reported, approximately 6.5 years post op the initial tsa, this female patient had a revision due to a diagnosis of "failed polyethylene, status post right knee arthroplasty".
 
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Section h10: (h3) based on review of all available information, there is no evidence to suggest that the reported event is related to any design issues.The reported revision for failed polyethylene may have been the result of malalignment between the femoral and tibial components, third body wear, patient-related conditions, or any combination of these possibilities, which led to prosthesis wear.However, this cannot be confirmed as the devices were not available for evaluation.
 
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
This follow-up report is being submitted to relay corrected information.The reported event was unable to be confirmed due to limited information received from the customer.No device was returned for evaluation; further, photographs and/or radiograph images were not provided for review.Operative notes and/or medical records were not provided for review of usage/ technique.A review of complaint history determined that no further action is required as no trends were identified.A definitive root cause was unable to be determined; however, may have resulted from prosthesis wear, instability and loosening or due to inclusion of the polyethylene in the packaging recall.However, the reported prosthesis wear, instability and loosening cannot be confirmed and potential contributions of user, or patient-related considerations to the event could not be assessed as the devices were not available for evaluation and no images radiographs, or relevant clinical information were provided.If any further information is obtained that would change or alter any information provided, a supplemental report will be filed accordingly.
 
Event or Problem Description
As reported, approximately 6 years and 4 months post the initial right total knee arthroplasty, the patient was revised due to prosthesis wear, instability, and loosening.Because the patient has filed a legal form, it appears that they are alleging significant pain and discomfort; gait impairment; poor balance; difficulty walking; component part loosening; soft tissue damage; bone loss; and other injuries presently undiagnosed, which all require ongoing medical care.
