H3, h6: the devices were not returned for evaluation; therefore, a device analysis could not be performed.The clinical/medical investigation concluded that the provided images confirm the reported osteolysis and patellar collapse.Based on the limited information provided, the clinical root cause for the osteolysis cannot be confirmed.The patient¿s age cannot be ruled out as a possible contributing factor to the reported osteolysis.The patellar collapse can be a result of osteolysis; however, this cannot be confirmed with the information provided.Devices batch numbers were not provided; thus, an evaluation of the manufacturing records could not be performed.A review of complaint history for the previous 12 months did not reveal similar events for the listed devices.A review of the instructions for use documents for knee systems revealed in possible adverse effects that, with all joint replacements, asymptomatic, localized, progressive bone resorption (osteolysis) may occur around the prosthetic components as a consequence of foreign-body reaction to particulate wear debris.Particles are generated by interaction between components, as well as between the components and bone, primarily through wear mechanisms of adhesion, abrasion, and fatigue.Secondarily, particles may also be generated by third-body wear.Osteolysis can lead to future complications necessitating the removal and replacement of prosthetic components.A review of the risk management files revealed this failure mode was previously identified.The anticipated risk levels are still adequate.A historical review concluded that there are no prior actions related to these products and event.At this time, we have no evidence to conclude that the product failed to meet any specifications at the time of manufacture.Factors that could contribute to the reported event include abnormal loading of limb, alignment, patient anatomy/medical history, adverse reaction and/or bone quality.Based on this investigation, the need for corrective action is not indicated.Should the devices or additional information be received, the complaint will be reopened.No further investigation is warranted for this complaint; however, we will continue to monitor for future complaints and investigate as necessary.We consider this investigation closed.
