THE ARTICLE CAN BE FOUND AT HTTPS://DOI.ORG/10.3113%2FFAI.2011.0659. WITHIN THAT PUBLICATION WHICH INCLUDED 130 PATIENTS, POST-OPERATIVE COMPLICATIONS WERE REPORTED, WHICH ALLEGEDLY OCCURRED FROM JANUARY 2000 TO DECEMBER 2009. IT WAS NOT POSSIBLE TO ASCERTAIN SPECIFIC DEVICE DETAILS OR PATIENT INFORMATION FROM THE REPORT, OR TO MATCH THE EVENTS REPORTED WITH PREVIOUSLY REPORTED COMPLAINTS. THEREFORE, NEW COMPLAINTS WERE INITIATED IN THE SYSTEM FOR THE POST-OPERATIVE COMPLICATIONS MENTIONED IN THE REPORT. THIS PRODUCT INQUIRY ADDRESSES LATERAL ANKLE INSTABILITY WHICH REQUIRED CALCANEAL OSTEOTOMY AND A POSTERIOR TIBIALIS TENDON TRANSFER TO THE PERONEUS BREVIS. THE REPORT STATES: ¿THE FINAL PATIENT HAD A HISTORY OF CHARCOT-MARIE-TOOTH DISEASE AND HAD UNDERGONE PRIOR LATERAL LIGAMENT RECONSTRUCTION (BROSTROM) AND A LATERAL CLOSING WEDGE CALCANEAL OSTEOTOMY 3 YEARS PRIOR TO HER ANKLE REPLACEMENT.
