Batch review performed on 21 november 2018: lot 125128: (b)(4) items manufactured and released on 17-jan-2013.Expiration date: 2017-12-31.No anomalies found related to the problem.To date, (b)(4) items of the same lot have been already sold without any similar reported event.Clinical evaluation performed by medical affairs director: 4 years after primary cementless tha, the stem subsided and was removed.The pre-revision radiographs show a stem that did not reach final seating, mostly because the femoral resection was very low, reaching the summit of the lesser trochanter.This was probably originated by either surgical or anatomical conditions that we cannot judge based on the information available.In this situation, we can conclude that the failure must not be attributed to a defective device.
