Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported that approximately 156 months after a left total knee replacement procedure, the patient underwent a revision procedure to address prosthesis wear, pain and difficulty ambulating.Revision surgery operative notes were provided.Patient left the operating room in stable condition.Post operative diagnosis noted wear of the implant.No further issues or complications were reported.No additional information is available.

This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional and/or corrected information.The following sections were updated/corrected: h6 mdr section codes updated/corrected: b, e the reason for the revision reported cannot be confirmed from the information provided but may be the result of prosthesis wear or due to inclusion of the polyethylene in the packaging recall.Additionally, these devices appear to have been implanted for over ten years prior to the reported event.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.

Additional Manufacturer Narrative

This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional and/or corrected information.The following sections were updated: b5.The following sections were corrected: h6, h11.The reported event was unable to be confirmed due to limited information received from the customer.No device was returned for evaluation; further, photographs and/or radiograph images were not provided for review.Medical records were provided for review.The review identified no abnormalities in usage or surgical technique performed.A review of manufacturing data was performed and identified that in august of 2021, it was discovered that a bag used in the packaging of our polyethylene inserts had been produced outside of our quality specifications.The use of these non-conforming bags may enable increased oxygen diffusion to the uhmwpe (ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene) insert, resulting in increased oxidation of the material relative to inserts packaged with bags that conform to specifications.For inserts with greater than five years of shelf life, increased oxidation of the inserts can lead to premature polyethylene wear resulting in a revision surgery.However, while it was packaged in a non-conforming vacuum bag, this tibial insert was on the shelf for less than 5 years before it was implanted.A review of complaint history determined that no further action is required as no trends were identified.A definitive root cause was unable to be determined; however, may have resulted from prosthesis wear and femoral loosening or due to inclusion of the polyethylene in the packaging recall.Based on the reported information, it appears that the ambulation difficulties, osteolysis, and synovitis may be related to the reported loosening and wear.Additionally, these devices appear to have been implanted for over ten years prior to the reported event.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.
