Manufacturer Narrative

Reported event: an event regarding fracture of a femoral stem in a jts distal femur was reported.The event was confirmed by medical review.Method and results product evaluation and results: visual inspection intraoperative pictures of jts distal femur pin 18932 were received, showing the device in situ and subsequently explanted.In the picture showing the device still in situ, it is possible to notice mainly the shaft and part of the femoral component and the collar.Visual inspection of the picture showing the explanted device confirmed that the femoral stem fractured.No damage or non-conformity relevant to the reported event was identified in all the other components.Clinician review: the x-rays provided showed the bone near the resection had massive resorption, osteolysis and radiolucency, and the femoral stem clearly showed a horizontal fracture line at the middle of the stem which confirms the reason for revision.Product history review: review of the product history records indicate (b)(4) was manufactured and accepted into final stock on 28oct2014 with no reported discrepancies.Complaint history review: similar reported events regarding femoral stem fracture and loosening in jts distal femoral replacement.There have been 2 and 12 other events respectively.Conclusions: an event regarding fracture of a femoral stem in a jts distal femur was reported.The event was confirmed by medical review.During the clinician review loosening was also identified.The exact cause of the event could not be determined because further information such as pre-operative x-rays and the primary operative report as well as retrieval analysis are needed to complete the investigation for determining root cause.No further investigation for this event is possible at this time as no devices and/or insufficient information was received by siw.If devices and/or additional information become available to indicate further evaluation is warranted, this record will be re-opened.
