Event or Problem Description
Patient diagnosed with right total knee arthroplasty with polyethylene failure and underwent surgical revision.During the revision, the surgeon stated, "we were then able to isolate the polyethylene and then able to lever it out of the tibial tray.On inspection, there was some beginning of degradation of the posterior locking mechanism." the patient continues to complain of pain and effusion to her right knee.No additional information.
 
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
H6: based on review of all available information, there is no evidence to suggest that the reported event is related to any design issues.The cause of the subsequent revision cannot be conclusively determined; however, it 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.
 
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
H6: corrected health effect clinical code, component code, type of investigation, investigation findings.The reason for the revision reported cannot be confirmed from the information provided but may be the result of prosthesis wear or due to inclusion of the polyethylene in the packaging recall.Potential contributions of user and patient-related considerations to the event could not be assessed as the devices were not available for evaluation and images and radiographs were not provided.
