    IT WAS REPORTED THAT, AFTER UKA SURGERY WAS PERFORMED ON (B)(6)2021, AP X-RAYS DEMONSTRATED TIBIAL COLLAPSE WHERE TIBIAL IMPLANT WAS ROTATED IN VALGUS. THIS ADVERSE EVENT WAS TREATED WITH REVISION SURGERY ON (B)(6)2021 (5 WEES POST-OP) FROM A UKA TO TKA. DURING THIS PROCEDURE, IT WAS OBSERVED THAT THE BONE QUALITY WAS VERY POOR. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT A CEMENTED TOTAL KNEE ARTHROPLASTY SHOULD HAVE BEEN PERFORMED INSTEAD AS INITIAL SURGERY, SINCE THE PATIENT WAS NOT A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR A UKA. THE SURGEON WAS ABLE TO LIFT THE TIBIAL TRAY & ANCHOR OUT OF THE PATIENT WITH A RONGEUR BY HAND. REVISION PROCEDURE FROM UKA TO TKA WAS SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED. BASED ON THE INFORMATION PROVIDED BY 3 INDEPENDENT INDIVIDUALS, INCLUDING 2 TRAINED ORTHOPEDIC MEDICAL DOCTORS, THE CAUSE OF THE INCIDENT WAS POOR BONE QUALITY OF THE PATIENT, AND THE DEVICE DID NOT CAUSE OR CONTRIBUTE TO THE INCIDENT.
