The associated device, used in treatment, was returned and evaluated.A visual inspection of the returned device could not confirm the stated failure mode.The device is heavily damaged around the outer rim from extraction.A dimensional evaluation of the returned device did not confirm the stated failure mode.A dimensional inspection found the device diameter to be within specification.The clinical/medical evaluation concluded that without the supporting medical imaging and/or the implantation and revision operative reports, the root cause of the reported disassociation cannot be confirmed; however, the heavily damaged lock ring from what appears to be impingement, cannot be ruled out as a contributing factor.It cannot be concluded that the reported event was associated with a mal performance of the implant.The patient impact beyond the revision cannot be determined.No further clinical assessment is warranted at this time.A review of complaint history did not reveal additional complaints for the listed batch.A review of the manufacturing records did not reveal a manufacturing abnormality that could have caused or contributed to the reported incident.At this time, we do not have reason to suspect that the product failed to meet any product specifications at the time of manufacture.A review of the risk management file and instructions for use documents revealed this failure mode and potential harm was previously identified.Some potential probable causes for this event could include a traumatic injury or surgical technique.Based on this investigation, the need for corrective action is not indicated.Should additional information be received, the complaint will be reopened.No further investigation is warranted for this complaint; however, we will continue to monitor future complaints and investigate as necessary.We consider this investigation closed.
