Event or Problem Description

It was reported that the patient had a complex primary total knee replacement on (b)(6) 2025 using a primary attune ps femur, attune ps rotating platform insert, attune revision rotating platform tibial tray with attune revision tibial sleeve and attune revision pressfit stem.The patient had a previous tibial plateau fracture that had been repaired using plates and screws, which had subsequently been removed prior to the total knee replacement surgery.At the time of the tkr surgery, no concerns were noted.Post-surgery, the patient's medial collateral ligament appears to have failed (this occurred 2 days post-operation on ((b)(6) 2025), resulting in the knee being in severe valgus and x-ray indicating that the poly insert was now rotated out of its initial position.The knee was subsequently placed in a range of motion brace and follow-up x-rays showed the knee to be in good alignment in both the ap and lateral views.At this stage, no further action is planned but the patient will be reviewed in a couple of weeks.

Additional information received: it was a spin-out rather than dislocation.The insert had partially rotated without lifting out of the tibial tray, and it was back in the correct position on the follow up xrays when the knee brace had been applied.
