Additional narrative: examination of the reported devices was not possible as they were not returned.A search of the complaints databases identified other reports against the femoral head, liner, and bone screw.A previous review of the bone screw device history records identified no related manufacturing deviations or anomalies that would contribute to the reported event.The femoral head and liner are exempt from device history record review per procedure.No additional related reports were found against the remaining product and lot code combinations.Medical records were reviewed.The investigation can draw no conclusions with the information made available.Based on the inability to determine root cause, the need for corrective action has not been indicated.Depuy considers the investigation closed at this time.Should additional information be received, the information will be reviewed and the investigation will be re-opened as necessary.
