(b)(4).Multiple mdr reports were filed for this event, please see associated reports: 3002806535-2020-00209-1, 3002806535-2020-00210-1.As the product has not been received, the investigation was limited to the information provided; a review of device history records and complaint history.One mediolateral radiograph, likely taken prior to revision surgery, was provided for analysis with (b)(4).The anatomical bearing has dislocated into the anterior joint space, as indicated by the x-ray marker wire.The tibial tray appears short of the anterior edge of the tibial plateau.The oxford partial knee surgical technique states that the anterior edge of the tibial tray should be flush with (or be less than 5 mm short of) the anterior edge of the tibial tray.Post-primary radiographs are required to assess the initial positioning, fit and alignment of components.The zimmer biomet product experience report (zper) states that the patient (female, 53 at the time of revision) had traumatic fall on both knees causing flexion to lower limb.The next day patient describes a twisting motion, pop and pain.Xray revealed dislocated oxford bearing.This led to surgery on (b)(6) 2020 to replace the anatomical bearing.The zper states that trauma ¿ patient fall on operative knee was a contributing condition related to the event.Documentation provided on etq informs that the original 5 mm bearing was exchanged to a 7 mm bearing, which indicates that a degree of tissue laxity was found at revision.It is unclear at which point the patient has developed joint laxity, as surgical notes from the primary and revision procedure have not been provided.Based on the information provided at the time of writing this assessment, it can be concluded that the device did not contribute to the bearing dislocation.The manufacturing history records (mhrs) for the oxford partial knee femoral component, tibial tray and anatomical bearing have been checked and verify that the components were manufactured and sterilised in accordance with the applicable specifications.In addition, we have not been provided with any supporting documentation which could provide additional information.A review of the complaint database over the last 3 years has found 4 similar complaints for this item code 159570 , and no similar complaints found for the items 154719 and 161468.There were no trends identified from the complaint history review.No same lot numbers, no same hospitals and there are no trends in cause.In most cases of the similar complaints, cause could not be established without the opportunity to examine the complaint product, root cause cannot be determined due to insufficient information.If any additional information becomes available, then the complaint will be reopened and investigated thoroughly.
