It was reported that patient underwent an endo genus dextri (right side) - attune cementless surgery on (b)(6) 2024.After the surgery, they experienced constant pain and had an unsteady gait.According to product specifications, when properly implanted, the components fuse with the bones of the knee within eight weeks.Following examinations and imaging studies, it was determined that the joint components were not in place; the patella was outside the femoral groove of the joint (patela bata), and the leg had been displaced to the right and outward.The surgeon recommended physical therapy, but the problem was not resolved.They then recommended operation only on the knee cap.After consultations with other orthopedic surgeons and imaging studies, it was determined that the patella (kneecap) and the joint were not aligned.The joint had been positioned further inward, while the patella was 1 cm to the right and did not fit into the femoral canal.Revision surgery occurred on (b)(6)14, 2025, fourteen months after initial endoprosthetic replacement.It was determined that osseointegration had not occurred.There was no sign of bone on the implants; they were removed extremely easily, and they were removed on the first attempt.
