Section h3, h6: the devices were not returned for evaluation; therefore, a device analysis could not be performed.The clinical/medical investigation concluded that, this case reports a revision total knee arthroplasty surgery almost two years post implantation due to mal-alignment of the femur and tibia components.Per case details, the patient experienced instability and pain in the knee as a result.As of the date of this medical investigation, the requested clinical documentation has not been provided for evaluation.It has been noted within the e-mail correspondence within the attachments that no further information is available.Therefore, there were no clinical factors found which would have contributed to the reported event.However, it was reported that the stated mal-aligned components were due to ¿inadequate initial implantation by the prior surgeon.¿ it has been reported that no lasting injury was incurred to the patient.No further clinical assessment can be rendered at this time.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 device did not reveal similar events for the listed devices.A review of the instructions for use documents for knee systems revealed in indications, contraindications, and adverse effects that preoperative planning and meticulous surgical technique are essential to achieve optimum results.Considerations of anatomic loading, soft-tissue condition, and component placement are critical to minimize a variety of complications.Also, revealed in warnings and precautions that surgical information is available upon request and the surgeon should be familiar with the technique.Lastly, periodic, long-term follow-up is recommended to monitor the position and state of the prosthetic components, as well as the condition of the adjoining bone.A review of the risk management files 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 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 surgical technique used or user/procedural variance.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.E1: initial reporter name and address.
