Manufacturer Narrative

Batch review performed on 20 february 2024 lot 174405: (b)(4) items manufactured and released on 15-dec-2017.Expiration date: 2022-11-28.No anomalies found related to the problem.To date, (b)(4) items of the same lot have been sold without any similar reported event during the period of review.Clinical evaluation performed by medical affairs department: revision of the stem after 5 years 10 months after the primary tha on a young male patient.The patient reported pain and from the radiographic image is visible that the stem was radiographically loose.We have no history of the post-operative evolution and therefore we cannot tell if the stem could never find osteointegration with the bone or if a subsequent deterioration of the interface such as low grade infection may have caused the loosening.There is no reason to suspect a defective stem.Preliminary analysis performed by r&d project manager: looking at the image attached to the complaint it is visible the expianted stem covered by patient blood.It seems that no ha residuals are present on the stem body even if only one image is available and it is not possible to confirm this evidence.Absorption of ha from the stem body can indicate that metabolic activity was taking place and that, presumably, adequate bone contact was achieved at the time of surgery.Some signs of minor damage and scratches are present on the neck of the explanted stem, which is likely due to the revision surgery and not relevant to the reported issue.Based on the analysis completed and information available, it is not possible to identify a root cause of reported complaint.
