Event or Problem Description

|
It was reported that, after a bilateral patient underwent a primary tka on (b)(6) 2023, they developed a posterior dislocation of the left knee when sleeping on her side in full flexion.Dislocation was irreducible by closed measures.Therefore a revision surgery was performed on (b)(6) 2023, to exchange a jrny ii cr fem cocr np lt sz 3 for a bcs femur and up size the polyethylene.Patient is doing well, and had no further dislocations reported.

The reported event was analyzed.Although the involvement of all the devices was reported, the relationship with the investigated failure was directly associated to the femoral component.Therefore, no investigation is deemed for the other devices.The device was not returned for evaluation; therefore, a device analysis could not be performed.The clinical/medical investigation concluded that the integrity of the posterior cruciate ligaments prior to the primary total knee arthroplasty cannot be determined based on the documentation provided.The radiological imaging (lateral) shows posterior tibial translations/dislocations at approximately 9.5 weeks and 12 weeks post implantation which likely indicates inadequate/deficient posterior cruciate ligaments with subsequent inadequate femoral rollback in flexion; however, this cannot be definitively concluded.Correspondence indicated the patient is doing well with no further dislocations reported following revisions.The noted additional left patellar implant post-revision does not represent a component malperformance.The patient impact included the early post-op posterior tibial dislocations of both knees within 12 weeks of the bilateral cruciate-retaining total knee arthroplasty procedure, closed reduction of right knee with application of above the knee cast at 6 weeks, and revision of both knees (right at 9.5 weeks and left at 12 weeks post bilateral primary cruciate-retaining total knee arthroplasty) with conversion to bcs constructs with upsized insert thickness.A transient post-surgical convalescence would be anticipated.A review of the production order did not reveal a manufacturing abnormality that could have caused or contributed to the reported incident.A review of complaint history for the part number over the past 12 months and for the batch number based on historical data of the device did not reveal similar events for the listed device.A review of the instructions for use documents for knee systems revealed that dislocation and subluxation can result from trauma, improper implant selection, improper implant positioning, improper fixation, and/or migration of the components.Muscle and fibrous tissue laxity can also contribute to these conditions.This has been identified as a possible adverse effect.A review of the risk management file 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 this product and event.At this time, we have no evidence to conclude that the product failed to meet any specifications at the time of manufacture.Factors that could contribute to the reported event include postoperative care, size selected or abnormal loading of limb.Based on this investigation, the need for corrective action is not indicated.Should the device 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.
