Manufacturer Narrative

Reported event: an event regarding a seating/locking issue involving a triathlon insert was reported.The event was confirmed by visual inspection.Method & results: -device evaluation and results: the insert with the locking wire was returned for evaluation.The locking wire was returned detached from the insert.The locking wire has scratches and is bent in two places which is indicative of at least partial assembly with the baseplate.Indentations are observed on the posterior aspect of one of the condyles which may be indicative of an obstruction during attempted implantation.There are also impression marks observed on the superior bearing condyle surface and some damage on the anterior aspect of the insert at the locking wire groove, possibly caused during attempted assembly and subsequent removal of the insert.-medical records received and evaluation: not performed as the reported component was not implanted.-device history review: dhr review for the reported lot was satisfactory.-complaint history review: chr review for the reported lot confirmed that there are no other similar events reported.Conclusions: based on the visual inspection of the returned component, the damage observed on the locking wire is consistent with attempted seating of the insert onto the baseplate.The observed damage on the posterior aspect of the insert is indicative of an obstruction during attempted seating of the insert onto the baseplate which would have prevented successful assembly.No further investigation for this event is required at this time.

Event Description

Poor engagement of the pe on the tibial base.Use of other implant of the same size and thickness to complete surgery.
