It was reported via a legal notification that a 65 yo patient, initial left knee implanted on (b)(6) 2014, underwent a revision procedure on (b)(6) 2022, approximately 8 years post the initial procedure.The patient had been seen by the surgeon in an outpatient clinic.The patient had constant pain and instability that failed conservative treatment.The pre-procedure diagnosis indicated aseptic loosening of components and arthroplasty wear of the polyethylene liner.The polyethylene was removed with an osteotome without difficulty.The femoral component was noted to be grossly loose and was dis-impacted without difficulty.The tibial component was noted to be grossly loose and was dis-impacted off the tibial plateau without difficulty and there was minimal bone loss.The tibial stem and bone cement were removed.Competitor¿s devices were re-implanted.The patient was transferred to the post anesthesia care unit in stable condition with stable vital signs having tolerated the procedure well without apparent complications.No device returns anticipated due to this being a legal case.No further information.
