Event or Problem Description
It was reported that, after a tka had been performed on (b)(6) 2023, patient experienced cracking sounds when kneeling.Patient had a rubber mat under his knees.As he was sliding around, suddenly felt intense pain in his knee, saw stars, and fell backwards uncontrollably, hyperextending his knee.After that, patient could not straighten his knee freely anymore.Because of this issue there was a 40° extension deficit in the left knee joint.In addition, the femoral prosthetic limb was dislocated over the peg of the tibial insert.This adverse event was addressed by performing a revision surgery on (b)(6) 2025, in which, the lgn ps high flex xlpe sz 7-8 9mm was exchanged.During procedure, repositioning of the joint was not possible with reasonable force without endangering the ligaments.Therefore, the peg of the tibial insert was sawn off.Stable ligamentous guidance was then restored with regard to the collateral ligaments.Patient's current health status is unknown.
