H3, h6: the device was not returned for evaluation; therefore, a device analysis could not be performed.The clinical/medical investigation concluded that per complaint details, the size 2, right jrny ii xr tibial baseplate did not fully fit/seat on the tibia which was resolved by ¿surgeon widened the hole in the bone with a drill¿ so the baseplate could be seated.Reportedly, initial attempts to seat the baseplate included additional bone removal ¿at peg and keel¿ and removal of bone cement and reattempt with keel punch.Per correspondence, ¿the surgeon thought the tibial baseplate sz 2 was bigger than expected¿ (as the trial baseplate reportedly fit adequately after the initial cut) but the requested clinical documentation is not available, and the procedure was reportedly completed with the same device after a non-significant delay.It was communicated that the patient did not require further medical intervention; however, it is unknown if the patient was injured as a consequence of this problem.Based on the limited information provided, no definitive clinical factors were concluded to have contributed to the event.The patient impact beyond the reported inadequate baseplate seating with subsequent interventions (including changes in surgical technique, additional bone removal, hole widening, and non-significant delay) cannot be determined.No further medical assessment could be rendered at this time.Based on the information provided, the unsatisfactory experience could be confirmed.A review of the production order did not reveal a manufacturing abnormality that could have caused or contributed to the reported incident.A review of complaint history for the part number over the past 12 months and for the batch number based on historical data of the device did not reveal similar events for the listed device.A review of the instructions for use documents for knee systems revealed in warnings and precautions that the correct selection of the implant is extremely important.The appropriate type and size should be selected for patients with consideration of anatomical and biomechanical factors.A review of the risk management file revealed this failure mode was previously identified.The anticipated risk level is still adequate.A historical review concluded that there are no prior actions related to this product and event.At this time, we have no reason to suspect that the product failed to meet any specifications at the time of manufacture.Factors that could contribute to the reported event include surgical technique used, size selected or user/procedural variance.Based on this investigation, the need for corrective action is not indicated.Should the device or additional information be received, the complaint will be reopened.No further investigation is warranted for this complaint; however, we will continue to monitor for future complaints and investigate as necessary.We consider this investigation closed.
