the cmp was confirmed
offset stem pn 00598802011: visual examination of the returned product identified signs of use.Products were received assembled.Unable to verify taper or offset while assembled.Part visually matches the blueprint.Dimensional analysis of the product determined that the product, where measured, was conforming to print specifications.Stems: review of the device history records identified no deviations or anomalies during manufacturing related to the reported event.Insufficient information provided.Unable to perform a compatibility check.Offset stem pn 00598802011: review of complaint history identified additional similar complaints for the reported item(s) and no additional complaints for the reported part and lot combination(s).Complaints are monitored through monthly complaint review in order to identify potential adverse trends.Medical records were provided and reviewed by a health care professional.Review of the available records identified the following:
imaging findings - ap and lateral views of the right knee show postoperative changes of knee arthroplasty with constrained longstem femoral and tibial components (likely revision tka).The patella is thin and mild patella alta is noted.There is radiolucency around the distal aspect of the tibial stem with lateral positioning of the stem in the tibial diaphysis, suspicious for loosening.Marked osseous demineralization is noted.Impression - revision right knee arthroplasty with radiolucency around the tibial stem and varus alignment of the tibial component consistent with loosening.Of note, marked radiographic osteopenia is noted, which can predispose to implant loosening.A definitive root cause cannot be determined.If any further information is found which would change or alter any conclusions or information, a supplemental will be filed accordingly.Zimmer biomet will continue to monitor for trends.
