Additional Manufacturer Narrative
H3, h6: results of investigation: based on the x-rays provided, it appears that the implant was mal positioned with the tray not fully seated anteriorly.Loading of the implant during normal activity would result in higher than normal forces generated on the anchor component, causing a levering effect.A (b)(6) 2021 x-ray confirmed the fractured anchor component.Investigation update: as correction action a voluntary market removal will be performed for the engage cementless partial knee system due recent complaint data that indicates that the revision rate may be trending higher than corresponding similar devices in global joint replacement registries.At this time, we have no reason to suspect that the products failed to meet any specifications at the time of manufacture.Based on this investigation, the need for corrective action may be indicated.
