An event regarding disassociation involving an accolade stem was reported.The event was confirmed.-device evaluation and results: mar concluded: "damage was observed on the accolade trunnion and v40 head taper.This damage was consistent with wear mechanisms due to the head taper and accolade stem trunnion losing their taper lock.A fractured inserter/extractor was observed in the stem.The fracture was consistent with an overload condition.Eds showed the inserter/extractor was consistent with astm f1537 alloy.No material or manufacturing defects were observed on the surfaces examined." -medical records received and evaluation: not performed as medical records were not returned.-device history review: review indicated all devices were manufactured and accepted into final stock with no relevant reported discrepancies.-complaint history review: review indicated there have been no other similar events for the reported lot.Conclusions: the investigation concluded that there was a loss of taper lock between the head and the stem.No further investigation for this event is possible at this time.If additional information becomes available, this investigation will be reopened.
