Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
The reported event could be confirmed based on available information in the event the device inspection was not possible as the product was not returned for investigation a review of the device history for the reported lot did not indicate any abnormalities.No corrective actions are required at this time.No indications of material, manufacturing or design related problems were found during the investigation.A review of the labeling did not indicate any abnormalities.Failure of total ankle replacement (tar) over time is a known complication.In case of a planned revision procedure a medical opinion aiming to determine the root cause of the failure is part of the internal investigation process.Sufficient (radiological and clinical) information must be provided to enable a meaningful clinical assessment and to identify possible causes of failure.In cases where a ct scan is the only available clinical source, this assessment is limited.No conclusive statement can be provided, because key clinical information (e.G.Clinical status, exact symptoms and range of motion of the patient, assessment of the treating physician) is missing.The root causes of radiographic findings such as radiolucent areas and bone cysts are often complex and multifactorial and cannot be determined scientifically without this decisive evidence.Due to these limitations, we are unable in such cases to provide statements about the patient, the procedure and/or the device in relation to cause of the failure.Based on investigation, the root cause was attributed to a patient related issue.The failure was caused due to valgus ankle as mentioned by the operating surgeon.If the device is returned or if any additional information is provided, the investigation will be reassessed.
