H3, h6: the devices were not returned for evaluation; therefore, a device analysis could not be performed.The clinical/medical investigation concluded that no clear causal relationship between the alleged event and the devices could be determined.The clinical root cause of the reported pain and instability was due to the anterior cruciate ligament (acl) rupture.Per the revision operative report findings, ¿the joint was made unstable by the acl rupture.¿ it is unknown if the patient¿s reported fall at 10 weeks post operation and lack of physical therapy for a period of one month cannot be ruled out as possible contributing factors to the reported adverse event.During revision the femoral, tibial, and patella components were all found to be well fixed with no evidence of infection per the (b)(6) 2022 revision operative report.Additionally, the patient was transferred to the recovery in stable condition; however, ¿still having issues with knee.¿ the patient impact beyond the reported pain, instability, acl rupture and subsequent revision cannot be determined.Therefore, no further clinical/medical assessment can be rendered.For the baseplate and inserts, a review of the production orders did not reveal a manufacturing abnormality that could have caused or contributed to the reported incident.A review of complaint history for the part numbers over the past 12 months and for the batch numbers based on historical data of the devices did not reveal similar events for the listed devices.A review of the instructions for use documents for knee systems revealed that postoperative care should be taken as the acl may be damaged.Besides, postoperative therapy should be structured to prevent excessive loading of the operative knee.This has been identified in warnings and precautions.A review of the risk management files is not applicable because no information was provided that relates the failure mode to the device.A historical review concluded that there are no prior actions related to these products and event.At this time, we have no reason to suspect that the products failed to meet any specifications at the time of manufacture.Factors that could contribute to the reported event include traumatic injury, patient condition and/or abnormal loading of limb.Based on this investigation, the need for corrective action is not indicated.Should the devices 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.
