Manufacturer Narrative

Corrected information: the device name has been corrected from proximal tibia to proximal tibia jts an event regarding alleged loosening involving a jts proximal tibia femoral component was reported.A review of the provided x-rays by a clinical consultant concluded "the x-ray provided shows that the tibial stem is well fixed.The femoral stem is smaller than the diameter of the canal which could be due to the growth of the patient in these two years.The femoral stem is a passive fixation which might cause the sliding movement of the stem within the canal, other than this the femoral stem is well positioned inside the canal.The reported incident cannot be radiographically confirmed as it is not showing the movement of the stem." the exact cause of the event could not be determined because further information such as the primary operative report as well as patient history and follow up notes are needed to complete the investigation for determining root cause.No further investigation for this event is possible at this time as no devices and insufficient information was received by siw.If devices and additional information become available to indicate further evaluation is warranted, this record will be re-opened.Siw will continue to monitor for trends.Corrective action/preventive action: no action is required at this time as there is no indication to suggest a product non-conformity or unanticipated hazard.Device not returned.
