Examination of the reported devices was not possible as they were not returned.A search of the complaints databases identified one other report against the femoral head and no other reports against the remaining product/product lot code combinations.The investigation can draw no conclusions with the information made available.Based on previous investigations this complication of joint replacement is unlikely to have been the result of a device failing to meet required specifications.The information received will be retained for potential series investigations if triggered by trend analysis, post market surveillance, or other events within the quality system.Corrective action was not 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.
