Event or Problem Description
As reported, approximately ten years post initial right tka, the 69 y/o male patient had a revision due to massive osteolysis issue due to poly wear.All implants were removed.There was no breakage of device or surgical delay/prolongation.Patient was last known to be in stable condition following the event.Photos and x-rays received.The devices are not available for evaluation as they were discarded at the hospital.
 
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
The revision reported was likely due to prosthesis wear which may have been due to instability, orientation of the components, patient related conditions, third body wear, incomplete seating of the insert, or any combination of these possibilities.It also appears that the insert disassembled from the tibial tray.Based on the information provided, the sequence of event could not be determined.It is unclear if the disassociation of the insert led to prosthesis wear and/or if the prosthesis wear may have led to the disassociation of the insert.Additionally, the insert was packaged in a non-conforming vacuum bag for over five years, which may have contributed to the reported wear.Additional information: d9.
