    Description

    NexGen¿ Complete Knee Solutions Stemmed Tibial Component Precoat NexGen Tibial Baseplates are part of the NexGen systems of semi-constrained, non-linked condylar knee prosthesis. The device is indicated for patients with severe knee pain and disability due to: Rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, traumatic arthritis, polyarthritis; Collagen disorders, and/or avascular necrosis of the femoral condyle; Post-traumatic loss of joint configuration, particularly when there is patellofemoral erosion, dysfunction or prior patellectomy; Moderate valgus, varus, or flexion deformities.

    Reason

    Two complaints were received in which it was reported that the stem would not lock into the tibia. Evaluation of the returned device found that the stemmed portion of the tibial plate would not hold the stem as the connection was too loose. The taper diameter was found to be oversized by .010.
