Event or Problem Description
|
|
Operative notes detail the primary left tka that was done on (b)(6) 2009.During the procedure, the surgeon accidentally cut the anterior portion of the it band with an unknown reciprocating saw causing the joint to intraoperatively dislocate.The surgeon was able to repair the it band with sutures, which allowed the joint to reduce without any issues.As a precaution, the surgeon elected to place a mobile bearing revision tray which can be converted over to a hinged if the patient develops instability issues in the future.The manufacturer of the reciprocating saw is unknown and therefore this issue will not be captured in this complaint.Clinical notes then detail the patient returning on (b)(6) 2022 with complaints of pain and instability.Examination of the left knee shows effusion and lateral joint laxity.The radiology report shows significant medial wear of the poly insert compared to previous radiographs.While the clinical notification details a revision of the insert, the revision notes were not provided at this time.
