Event or Problem Description
|
|
As reported, approximately 11 years and 9 months post the initial total knee arthroplasty, the patient came in for a check up.The x-ray and ct scan showed a clear decentration of the prosthesis head, and osteolysis in the acetabulum as a sign of inlay wear.This was verified when the inlay was exchanged.As part of the replacement operation, in addition to the inlay exchange, the firm cup integrity was determined, as well as the curettage and filling of the cysts in the cup bed, and the prosthesis head was changed.

This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional and/or corrected information.The product associated with the reported event is within the scope of recall z-1729-2022; however, there is insufficient information to evaluate whether the subject issue of the recall was a cause or contributor to the reported event.The following sections were updated: d8.The following sections were corrected: b2; b3; h6.Based on the available information, the patient involved in incident meets the following risk criteria for early prosthesis wear and/or osteolysis: implanted with a lateralized liner, combination of largest available femoral head and/or thinnest available liner was used.The most likely underlying cause for the revision reported is a combination of risk factors such as use error, implant positioning, implant size selection, and patient factors (fitness for surgery, biomechanics, activity level and local tissue oxidation potential) and being implanted for more than 10 years.However, this cannot be confirmed from the reported information and the devices were not available for evaluation.If any further information is obtained that would change or alter any information provided, a supplemental report will be filed accordingly.
