Clinic note dated (b)(6) 2016, the patient presented for bilateral knee evaluations.In the right knee, the patient was experiencing pain and swelling that dissipates through the day.Physical exam reveals right knee laxity.X-rays suggest the tibial tray is loosening and has subsided as well as possible loosening of the femoral component.The surgeon feels the joint is adequately stable and will continue to monitor.This clinic note is captured on (b)(4).(this pc captures the patient¿s first notification of complaints regarding the depuy revision products.No intervention was performed, and no treatment provided.) clinic note dated (b)(6) 2017: patient presents for scheduled follow-up status post right knee revision.Patient reports pain with ambulation that dissipates through the day.Physical exam reveals the right leg is 15 mm short, unchanged laxity, and positive drawer sign.X-ray exams remain unchanged with signs to tibial tray loosening and subsidence.The surgeon feels the knee is stable and will continue to monitor.This clinic note is captured on (b)(4).Clinic note dated (b)(6) 2018: patient presents with pain that dissipates through the day.Physical exam identifies that the right knee laxity is progressing.X-rays remain unchanged from previous studies.The surgeon believes that joint is sufficiently stable and will continue to monitor.This clinic note is captured on (b)(4).Clinic note dated (b)(6) 2019: the patient presented for pain and swelling due to progressive loosening of the tibial tray.Physical exam confirms progressive instability.X-rays identify that the right knee is misaligned, subsided, and loosened.The surgeon also identifies a fracture of the femoral condyle.Due to the progressive loosening and instability, the surgeon recommends revision of the right knee.The surgeon performs a n aspiration to determine if there is infection present to initiate the preoperative surgical process.This office visit is captured on (b)(4).(note: this pc is a continuation of the events captured in (b)(4).The subsequent revision is captured in (b)(4).Dor: (b)(6) 2019: patient received a right knee revision patient received a right total knee revision due to failed right total knee revision arthroplasty, pain, instability, leg length discrepancy, significant bone loss, compromised medial collateral ligament aseptic loosening of the tibial and femoral components, subsidence, patella baja, synovitis and femoral condyle fracture.Competitor devices were implanted at this revision along with depuy cement x 7, the patella was left unresurfaced.The surgery was completed without indication of complication by the surgeon.The revision is captured on (b)(4).
