Event Description
|
It was reported that a patient experienced pain due to a loosened eleos segmental stem- the event was confirmed through radiographical imaging by the surgeon.The underwent revision surgery due to the loosened stem, approximately two years post-operatively.The patient was initially implanted with the eleos distal femur replacement system on (b)(6) 2020, and revised on (b)(6) 2022.This event will be reportable to the fda as a serious injury due to the revision surgery.The following devices were also removed and replaced: eleos distal femur, eleos tibial hinge, eleos axial pin, and an eleos poly spacer.No alleged issues were reported against these devices; therefore, they will be considered concomitant.

Manufacturer Narrative

It was reported that a patient underwent a revision surgery on 20 august 2022 due to the loosening of an eleos segmental stem.The patient's index surgery took place on 09 may 2020, where the patient was implanted with the eleos distal femur replacement system.The following devices were implanted: canal-filling straight segmental stem, poly spacer, stem extension, tibial baseplate, tibial hinge component, distal femur, male-female midsection, and a distal femur axial pin.During the revision surgery on 20 august 2022, the surgeon revised the 14x120mm canal-filling straight segmental stem to a 13x152mm cemented bowed segmental stem.The poly spacer, tibial hinge, distal femur, male-female midsection, and distal femur axial pin were also revised and there were no alleged issues with these devices.The patient was reported to be complaint, had poor bone quality, and did not experience any external trauma.The patient's activity level is unknown.Visual, dimensional, functional inspection and material analysis could not be conducted as the device was not returned for evaluation.The root cause of reported eleos segmental stem loosening could not be determined.It is possible that loosening could have occurred due to insufficient healing, residual post-operative motion, etc.The patient's poor bone quality could have contributed to the eleos canal-filling segmental stem loosening over time.However, a root cause could not be determined based on the available information.
