Event Description
|
A patient specific prescription form was provided for the patient's right proximal tibia with the following information: indication/ diagnosis: limb length discrepancy.Reason for revision: limb length discrepancy, muscle contracture.Notes: save femoral component.The overall replacement should cover the extension (~200-220 mm).Additional information provided by the rep: "the patient has a pain during the knee extension and a muscle contracture.This is the reason the implant cannot be extended.The issue cannot be solved by shortening the implant, the surgeon wishes to replace this.".

Manufacturer Narrative

Updated b2.: event: an event regarding leg length discrepancy and muscle contracture involving a jts proximal tibia was reported.The event was confirmed by medical review.Method and results: product evaluation and results: not performed as no items were returned.Clinician review: the implant in situ was for a jts proximal tibial replacement which was inserted in aug2017.The surgeon reported that the patient had muscle contracture and limb length discrepancy.The ct scan provided doesn¿t include the full leg, so the comparison of the limb length is not possible.However, the ct scan does show that the implanted knee is in flexion which might indicate the contracture of the muscle.Another observation is that the right (affected) tibial is over 20 mm longer than the left (normal) tibial which may cause the leg length discrepancy.In general, the radiographic review can confirm the clinical report.Product history review: review of the product history records indicate 1 device was manufactured and accepted into final stock on 02aug2017 with no reported discrepancies.Complaint history review: based on the device identification the complaint databases were reviewed from (b)(6) 2017 to present for similar reported events regarding limb length discrepancy involving jts proximal tibia.There has been 1 other event.Conclusions: an event regarding leg length discrepancy and muscle contracture involving a jts proximal tibia was reported.The event was confirmed by medical review.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/or insufficient information was received by siw.If devices and/or additional information become available to indicate further evaluation is warranted, this record will be re-opened.H3 other text : device not returned.
