The patient underwent a right total knee arthroplasty approximately 3 years ago.The patient was revised due to pain and tibial/femoral component loosening.After the revision the patient's symptoms improved until the one year follow up, which he reported increasing pain.Upon x-ray review, the surgeon noted the tibia appears to have subsided with some radiolucent lines present suggesting loosening.No revision has been scheduled at this time but is pending follow up in six months.

This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional information.The following sections were updated: b4; b5; g4; g7; h1; h2; h3; h6 reported event was confirmed by review of medical records and x-rays.Device history record (dhr) review was unable to be performed as the part/lot number of the device involved in the event is unknown.Medical records were provided and reviewed by a health care professional.Review of the available records identified the following: initial ops notes were not provided.Revision surgery was performed on (b)(6) 2019 for pain, loose femur & tibial component.Also, the tibial component was subsided.All the components were revised during the surgery without complication.(b)(6) 2020, the patient was present with pain and moderate effusion of the knee.The x-ray review identified no change in the femoral component position.But, the tibia plate was slightly subsided on the lateral view.It also states : additionally, the tip of the stem is closer to the lateral cortex of the tibia than on the immediate postoperative xrays which likely means loosening and migration.The radiolucency line will be continued to monitor.The complaint is confirmed.Root cause was unable to be determined.If any further information is found which would change or alter any conclusions or information, a supplemental report will be filed accordingly.Zimmer biomet will continue to monitor for trends.
