Additional information received: 1.Please advise which component/s were loose? all tibial components.No bony ingrowth on the tibial sleeve.2.Did the surgeon identify the cause of the loosening? no.3.Per our records, this is the patient's 13th revision.Most of the patient's revisions so far have been due to suspected infection (including the last two revisions in 2021 which were 1st and 2nd stage revisions for confirmed infection).Is there a possibility that the loosening was related to infection? was any testing performed to check? possibly.Several tissue samples were collected and sent for testing, but none have returned positive results for infection.4.Was the cement used depuy manufactured? if so, please provide product codes/lot numbers/quantity used.No.Heraeus palacos was used.5.Was there any alleged deficiency to the other explanted devices? if yes, please provide details.No, femoral components were removed and replaced for access purposes only.
