An event regarding the off label use of a triathlon femoral component was reported.Conclusions:
it was reported that 'the cement-retained implant has been placed without cement'.A review of the triathlon® knee system surgical protocol compendium triath-sp-30_rev-2_34473, indicated that triathlon cr femoral component, catalog: 5510f202 is a cemented part number and therefore the surgeon should apply bone cement to the implant and/or bone surface in accordance with the standard of care for bone cement application.The reported event is considered to be the result of user error.No further investigation for this event is possible at this time.If additional information becomes available to indicate further evaluation is warranted, this record will be reopened.
