Event or Problem Description
|
|
Reported via legal notification.The patient has filed a short-form complaint.The consolidated long form complaint that applies to cases filed in this coordinated action alleges that patients filing suits in this coordinated action were required "to undergo revision surgeries due to severe, pain, swelling, and instability" due to "wear of the polyethylene components and resulting component loosening and/or other failure failures causing serious complications including tissue damage, osteolysis, permanent bone loss, and other injuries." because the patient has filed a short-form complaint in this coordinated action, the patient appears to allege that the patient was injured as a result of wear of a polyethylene device.

Additional Manufacturer Narrative

This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional and/or corrected information.The most likely cause for the revision reported due to early prosthesis wear and osteolysis is a combination of the risk factors: such as use error, implant positioning, implant size selection, and patient factors (fitness for surgery, biomechanics, activity level and local tissue oxidation potential).However, it cannot be confirmed on the provided radiographs and the devices were not available for evaluation.If any further information is obtained that would change or alter any information provided, a supplemental report will be filed accordingly.
