Per -(b)(4) final report in order to progress with the investigation of this event, corin requested the device details, operative notes, patient age and activity level, and patient medical history, but they were not provided.Examination of the post-surgery x-rays did not enable to confirm the subsidence, as no xray performed immediately post-surgery was provided.An xray performed 12 weeks post-surgery showed that the size of the implanted stem was appropriate.It was also confirmed that no revision occurred and that the patient reported to feel a little short when she was barefoot.The devices details were provided and thus the relevant device manufacturing records were identified and reviewed.All finished parts conformed to dimensional and material specifications at the time of manufacture, except for the femoral head material.However, the femoral head material has no impact on the stem stability and therefore the rootcause of the subsidence is unknown.Based on this, corin now considers this case closed.Should additional information be provided, the case will be reopened.Please note: the date of the event is unknown as the date on which the subsidence was observed was not provided.The submission of this report does not constitute an admission that the device, reporting entity, entity's representative or distributor caused or contributed to this event.
