Event or Problem Description
|

It is reported via legal documentation that a patient had preoperative and postoperative diagnoses indicating left total knee failure secondary to femoral component loosening and polyethylene wear; left total knee arthroplasty failure secondary to implant recall.The patient has a history of chronic pain in the left knee.The patient has a history of left total knee arthroplasty by another physician performed several years prior.I met with the patient in the office and workup with radiographs and physical examination demonstrated left total knee arthroplasty failure secondary to femoral component loosening, polyethylene wear, and recall of prosthesis.Aspiration of the joint was performed and demonstrated no evidence of infection.Operative procedure: some synovitis was noted around with polyethylene wear.The femoral component was partially loose.The knee was extended and full synovectomy was performed and multiple culture samples as well as suprapatellar and infrapatellar regions were performed and multiple culture samples of the synovium were sent for pathology.Next, using a 0.5 inch osteotome, the polyethylene was removed.Next, using a combination of electric saw as well as straight and curved osteotomes, tibia was carefully de-bonded at the bone implant interface and the tibial tray was removed.At the end of debridement, there was mild bone loss about the metaphyseal region of the tibia.Attention was turned to the femur.The femoral component was easily removed and was only partially bonded.There was no cement on the back of the femoral component as it was de-bonded at that interface.At the end of debridement, there was mild bone loss about the metaphyseal region of the femur and the condyles were intact.Tibial and femoral implants were then sent for pathology as well as periarticular tissue.The patella was assessed and synovectomy was performed around the patella including quadriceps and patellar tendon.The patella was assessed using a towel clip and found to be stable in orthogonal directions.The patient was revised to a competitor¿s devices.At the end of the procedure, the patient was transferred to the recovery bed and taken to the recovery room in stable condition.No further issues or complications were reported.

This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional and/or corrected information.The following sections were updated: d6a.The following sections were corrected: d6a.The reason for the revision reported cannot be confirmed from the information provided but may be the result of prosthesis wear, instability and femoral loosening or due to inclusion of the polyethylene in the packaging recall.The reported femoral loosening may have been the result of failure of the cement used to secure the femoral component to the femoral bone, which led to loosening at the cement-implant interface.Potential contributions of user and patient-related considerations to the event could not be assessed as the devices were not available for evaluation and images and radiographs were not provided.If any further information is obtained that would change or alter any information provided, a supplemental report will be filed accordingly.
