Event or Problem Description
It was reported a male patient, initial tka, left knee, implanted on (b)(6) 2020, was revised on (b)(6) 2022, approximately 2 years, 5 months post the initial procedure.The patient had bilateral knee replacements with the exactech system, on different dates.His right side has done very well but his left had pain and mechanical clicking for over a year.The patient became concerned after receiving the recall notice and saw his surgeon for evaluation.He was not debilitated with the knee symptoms but found them very annoying.Poly exchange for recall was performed.The patient was doing well after surgery.The explanted poly has been returned.
 
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 pain and subsequent revision cannot be conclusively determined; however, it is most likely related to the patient underlying conditions as associated with the interaction between the implanted device and the patient due to patient illness, unique anatomy, or other condition that impacts the performance of the device.It is noted that "clicking" can indicate positional changes in the implant that could lead to premature failure.
 
Event or Problem Description
No additional information has been provided, after multiple attempts.
 
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional and/or corrected information.The following sections were updated/corrected: d1, h6.Mdr section codes updated/corrected: a, b, c, d, e, g.The revision reported was likely the result of disassembly of the tibial insert from the tibial tray, which led to wear of the backside of the insert.Possible contributing factors to tibial insert disassembly include patient-related conditions, a post-traumatic event, incomplete seating of the tibial insert at the time of implantation, or any combination of these possibilities.Should additional relevant information be obtained, a follow-up mdr will be submitted accordingly.
