Additional Manufacturer Narrative
An event regarding crack/fracture involving a mako baseplate was reported.The event was confirmed via provided photographs of the device.Method & results: product evaluation and results: the reported device was not returned; however photographs were provided for review.The photographs show that the baseplate has fractured in half down the middle.Clinician review: a review of the provided medical information by a clinical consultant indicated: "this product inquiry concerns, a patient, who underwent a unicompartmental replacement of the knee, and then suffered a fall, and then complained of pain.Upon revision a fracture of the base plate was found.I can confirm that the patient underwent the primary procedure since i was able to see an x-ray with the implant in place.I cannot definitely confirm the revision since i was only able to see photographs of the fractured base plate.I do not have any other documentation such as operation report, doctors notes or post revision x-rays.The causes of baseplate fracture are multifactorial including surgical technique, especially ligament balancing, alignment and cementing technique.In this particular case i did not see very much in the way of cement below the base plate.If one side of the base plate was preferentially cemented theoretically a cantilever effect can occur which can contribute to breakage.Also in this particular case the patient sustained a fall so that the fracture could be considered post-traumatic.Also contributing causes include the patient's activity level and bmi as well as implant factors." product history review: review of the device history records indicate devices were manufactured and accepted into final stock with no relevant reported discrepancies.Complaint history review: there have been no other similar events for the lot referenced.Conclusions: it was reported that the patient was revised due to fracture of the tibial baseplate.The reported device was not returned; however photographs were provided for review.The photographs show that the baseplate has fractured in half down the middle.Clinician review of the provided x-ray images indicated the following: "the causes of baseplate fracture are multifactorial including surgical technique, especially ligament balancing, alignment and cementing technique.In this particular case i did not see very much in the way of cement below the base plate.If one side of the base plate was preferentially cemented theoretically a cantilever effect can occur which can contribute to breakage.Also in this particular case the patient sustained a fall so that the fracture could be considered post-traumatic.Also contributing causes include the patient's activity level and bmi as well as implant factors." no further investigation for this event is possible at this time.If additional information becomes available to indicate further evaluation is warranted, this record will be reopened.
