Event Description

Patient initiated complaint: it was reported by the patient that, "there is a possible defect in hip replacement material that was sent and used by my hip surgeon during (b)(6) 2021.As a result, i am now having to be scheduled for a 'revision implant procedure' soon.In the meantime, please make note of the following implant material that was installed into my right hip and just maybe your company will be able to determine what needs to be done next because i have already filed a consumer complaint with the fda on the following hip replacement materials: depuy synthes pinnacle shell size 52; a+4 19-degree liner; summit femoral stem size 4; standard offset; and femoral head is a +1.5 32mm ceramic.I live in (b)(6) and my hip replacement surgery took place in (b)(6) 2021 without any major complications and appropriate physical therapy was also required and completed.The function of my hip with the above materials failed on monday (b)(6) 2023.I was taking a leisurely walk on a sidewalk when the materials in my hip made a loud popping sound, a buckling down of my hip occurred immediately and then the materials/mechanism has not stopped making squeaking sounds from my hip and femur.

Product complaint # (b)(4).Investigation summary - the device associated with this report was not returned to depuy synthes for evaluation.Review of the photographic evidence does not depict the reported acetabular cup.However, based on the observations of the acetabular liner and the metal transference of the de ceramic head, it is reasonable to conclude that a disassociation event occurred between the liner and cup.In addition, noise would be present due to the ceramic head articulating against the metal cup.Additional monitoring for any potential safety signals will be conducted through complaint trending and other post-market safety surveillance activities.Device history lot - a manufacturing record evaluation was performed for the finished device lot number, and no non-conformances or manufacturing irregularities were identified.
