It was reported via the patient's legal representative that the patient underwent a right total knee arthroplasty procedure on (b)(6) 2015.During the 2015 procedure the following arthrex products were implanted: ar-503-ttte tibial tray implant (lot 1315454), ar-517-5r femoral implant (lot 1438474), ar-503-a409 bearing implant (lot 113601322), ar-504-psb8 patella implant (lot 113601439).It was reported that patient failed to respond to conservative treatment, was experiencing persistent pain and had a bone scan that demonstrated loosening of the tibial component.As a result, the patient underwent a revision right total knee arthroplasty with a stemmed tibial component on (b)(6) 2017.The (b)(6) 2017 operative report noted that the femoral component was well fixed as was the patellar component.The tibial component was removed with the combination of a gigli saw and an oscillating motorized saw and was noted to be loose.The revision was completed using a stemmed tibial component.Both procedures were performed by the same surgeon at the same facility.
