The associated legion cruciate retaining narrow oxinium femoral component was not returned for evaluation.As device details were made available, thus our investigation including a review of the manufacturing records for the listed batch did not reveal any deviation from the standard manufacturing processes.A review of the complaint history for the listed part revealed no prior complaints for the listed failure mode with the same batch number.At this time, we have no reason to suspect that the product failed to meet any product specifications at the time of manufacture.A clinical evaluation noted that scintigraphy confirmed the reported pain.However, without the requested clinical information, radiographs, lab reports, physical therapy records or the explant the root cause of the reported pain cannot be determined.Therefore, the information provided is insufficient to determine whether the patient¿s signs, symptoms, or outcomes are due to a pre-existing or concurrent medical or surgical condition or procedure, or to an adverse reaction with the device.In addition, the patient¿s trauma history as a contributing factor cannot be ruled out.It was reported that no additional therapy is required.No further investigation warranted for this complaint; however we will continue to monitor for future complaints and investigate as necessary.Should additional information be received, the complaint will be reopened.

The associated legion cruciate retaining narrow oxinium femoral component was not returned for evaluation.Our investigation including a review of the manufacturing records for the listed batch did not reveal any deviation from the standard manufacturing processes.A review of the complaint history for the listed part revealed no prior complaints for the listed failure mode nor with the same batch number.At this time, we have no reason to suspect that the product failed to meet any product specifications at the time of manufacture.A clinical evaluation noted that scintigraphy confirmed the reported pain.However, without the requested clinical information, radiographs, lab reports, physical therapy records or the explant the root cause of the reported pain cannot be determined.Therefore, the information provided is insufficient to determine whether the patient¿s signs, symptoms, or outcomes are due to a pre-existing or concurrent medical or surgical condition or procedure, or to an adverse reaction with the device.The surgeons selection of this device (oxidized zirconium) over other similar femoral components is most likely because of the low level of nickel content in the device.Oxinium material contains <0.0035% for detectable nickel, the leading cause of negative reactions in patients with metal sensitivities.It is so low that it could be considered "hypo-allergenic.In addition, the patient¿s trauma history as a contributing factor cannot be ruled out.No procedure has been reported to remediate the adverse event and there has been no additional therapy required.No further investigation warranted for this complaint; however we will continue to monitor for future complaints and investigate as necessary.Should additional information be received, the complaint will be reopened and reevaluated.
