H10.Related- mfr #1038671-2024-02590 report 1 of 2.H11.Additional manufacturer narrative- report 1 of 2.Additional information added.D10.Concomitants: sn (b)(6) - cat #02-010-02-0235.Sn (b)(6) - cat #02-012-45-3535.Sn (b)(6) - cat #200-02-35.Sn (b)(6) - cat #204-34-04.Sn (b)(6) - cat #204-70-00.H3.Investigation results- photo: posterior tibial spine wear is likely to occur when the post is chronically subjected to higher-than-normal shear forces and/or rapid, rather than gradual engagement of the femoral cam with the tibial insert spine during knee flexion.The damage on the tibial spine suggests that there may have been some level of knee instability.Instability occurs when the soft-tissue structures around the knee are unable to provide the stability necessary for adequate function during standing or walking.Instability may be the result of increased soft-tissue laxity (looseness), inadequate flexion of the implants, or improper positioning or alignment of the prosthesis.Pain and/or a sense of ¿giving away¿ of the knee may alter knee function and require revision surgery.The frequency of occurrence ranking is "very low".The tibial insert was packaged for approximately 5.42 years before being implanted.Risk documents were reviewed, risks are captured.The revision reported was likely the result of tibial insert wear and instability.Additionally, a contributing factor to the reported wear of the tibial insert may have been the result of being packaged in a non-conforming vacuum bag for more than five years.However, the extent and likely cause of the prosthesis wear and instability could not be determined as the devices were not returned for evaluation, and radiographs and images of the patella were not provided.These devices are used for treatment not diagnosis.There is no additional information available.
