ON (B)(6) 2021, THE PATIENT UNDERWENT A SECOND RIGHT KNEE REVISION TO ADDRESS INFECTION, WOUND DEHISCENCE, DELAYED WOUND HEALING, DRAINAGE, AND MILD REDNESS AROUND WOUND. THE TIBIAL INSERT WAS THE ONLY PRODUCT REVISED. THE SURGEON ALSO PERFORMED AN IRRIGATION AND DEBRIDEMENT, PLACEMENT OF ANTIBIOTIC CONTAINING PELLETS, CLOSURE OF PREVIOUS LATERAL RELEASE, SCAR REVISION LATERAL WOUND 5 CM, AND REPAIR OF PARTIAL PATELLAR TENDON AVULSION USING TWO SUTURES. THE SURGEON NOTED THE PREVIOUS PATELLAR TENDON REPAIR WAS INTACT, HOWEVER, THERE WAS NO WAY HE COULD GET THE KNEE FLEXED UP ENOUGH TO REMOVE THE TIBIAL INSERT. THEREFORE, THE REPAIR WAS TAKEN DOWN TO ALLOW REMOVAL OF TIBIAL INSERT. MOST OF THE PATELLAR TENDON HAD PREVIOUSLY STAYED INTACT. HOWEVER, THERE WAS SIGNIFICANT AVULSION.
