Manufacturer Narrative
|
An event regarding luxation and crack/fracture of the locking ring involving all poly constrained insert 52mm was reported.The provided x-rays confirmed the fracture of the locking ring.Method & results: device evaluation and results: mar concluded: damage was observed on the insert was consistent with explantation damage.Damage to the locking ring was consistent with impingement.No material or manufacturing defects were observed on the surfaces examined.Medical records received and evaluation: a review of the provided medical records and/or x-rays by a clinical consultant indicated: there is no obvious malposition of the component placement on x-rays observed.No material or manufacturing defects were observed on the surfaces examined in the material analysis report.It is reasonable to believe that the poor condition of the tissues supporting the implant lead to its early failure.Device history review: a device history review confirmed all devices accepted into finished goods conformed to specification.Complaint history review: no other events were reported for the lot indicated.Conclusions: the investigation concluded that the reported luxation and fracture of the locking ring was caused by the patient's insufficient soft tissue constraint.If additional information becomes available, this investigation will be reopened.
