Revision of a pfc tkr done in 2006.Male, left side.On the joint registry form, the reason for revision was due to deep infection, tibial loosening, femur loosening.When exposure was done the surgeon noted significant poly wear as seen in the pics.All components were removed and attune revision was implanted.The patient notes were unavailable so i was unable to get the lot numbers from the implant stickers.The only lot number i was able to read on the implants was for the one stated in the impacted products.86-4183 pfc keeled tibial tray sz 5.The tibia was very loose.As you can see in the pic there is cement on the implant, so both interfaces failed.The femur failed at the bone-cement interface.
