Manufacturer Narrative

Reported event; an event regarding disassociation involving an accolade stem that mated with a metal head was reported.The event was confirmed through clinician review of the provided medical records.Method & results: -product evaluation and results: no product was returned for evaluation however photographs were provided for review.The photographs show a recently explanted head, stem and liner.Blood is visible on all devices.Bony ingrowth is visible on the body of the stem.The trunnion is worn/corroded.Screws are visible in the liner most likely used for explantation purposes.Damage is visible on the rim of the liner.-clinician review: a review of the provided medical records by a clinical consultant indicated: again, as i described above this inquiry describes the failure of a total hip arthroplasty approximately 15 years after implantation due to femoral head disassociation and possible trunnion failure.Causes of this type of failure are multifactorial including surgical technique, patient factors and implant factors.The root cause of this event cannot be determined with certainty.An implant metallurgical analysis would have to be carried out to determine the exact mechanism of failure.-product history review: review of the device history records indicate the devices were manufactured and accepted into final stock with no relevant reported discrepancies.-complaint history review: there have been no other similar events for the lot referenced.Conclusions: it was reported that the patient was revised due to disassociation of the head from the stem.The event was confirmed by visual inspection of provided photographs of the devices and by review of the provided medical information by a clinical consultant.The reported accolade stem was mated with an lfit v40 cocr head.The cocr head has been identified to be within scope of an nc and capa.No further investigation for this event is required at this time.If additional information becomes available to indicate further evaluation is warranted, this record will be reopened.
