Although the involvement of all the devices was reported, the relationship with the investigated failure was directly associated to the tibial component.The device was not returned for evaluation; therefore, a device analysis could not be performed.A visual inspection of the image provided was performed, and no damage was able to be detected.The devices shows signs of use.A review of the production records did not reveal a manufacturing abnormality that could have caused or contributed to the reported incident.A review of complaint history based on the historical data revealed similar previous events, however, no commonalities that would suggest a device deficiency were found.A review of the instructions for use documents for engage partial knee system revealed that revision surgery has been identified in adverse effects and complications.There is not enough data available to conclude that the overall clinical benefit outweighs the potential risk profile when compared to the state of the art.The existing data identifies a potential signal that the performance is an outlier vs the state of the art with respect to the risk for revision.In addition, a historical review concluded that as a correction action a voluntary market removal was performed for the engage cementless partial knee system due recent complaint data that indicates that the revision rate may be trending higher than corresponding similar devices in global joint replacement registries.At this time, we have no reason to suspect that the products failed to meet any specifications at the time of manufacture.No details about the cause of the revision surgery were provided, therefore no factors that can contribute can be delineated.Based on this investigation, the need for corrective action is not indicated.
