Event or Problem Description
It was reported via a legal case, that a patient, right knee implanted on (b)(6) 2013, had developed osteolysis in his right knee as a result of the failed polyethylene liner, and was scheduled to undergo revision surgery on (b)(6) 2023, to remove the device.As a result of defendants¿ failure to properly package the optetrak device prior to distribution, the polyethylene liner prematurely degraded and plaintiff required revision surgery due to severe pain, swelling, and instability in the knee and leg.These injuries were caused by accelerated and preventable wear of the polyethylene insert.As a direct, proximate, and legal consequence of the defective nature of the optetrak device as described herein, the plaintiff has suffered and continues to suffer permanent and debilitating injures and damages, including but not limited to, significant pain and discomfort; gait impairment; poor balance; difficulty walking; component part loosening; soft tissue damage; bone loss; and other injuries which all require ongoing medical care.As a further direct, proximate, and legal consequence of the defective nature of the optetrak device, plaintiff has sustained and will sustain future damages, including but not limited to cost of medical care; rehabilitation; home health care; loss of earning capacity; mental and emotional distress; and pain and suffering.No device returns anticipated due to this being a legal case.No further information.
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
The reason for the event reported cannot be confirmed from the information provided but may be the result of prosthesis wear, instability, and loosening or due to inclusion of the polyethylene in the packaging recall.Additionally, these devices appear to have been implanted for over ten years prior to the reported event.Potential contributions of manufacturing, user, and patient-related considerations to the event could not be assessed as the devices were not available for evaluation and images, radiographs, and relevant clinical information were not provided.If any further information is obtained that would change or alter any information provided, a supplemental report will be filed accordingly.
