Manufacturer Narrative
|
An event regarding crack/fracture of an omnifit liner was reported.The event was confirmed.Method & results: -device evaluation and results: the material analysis report concluded that, "a fragment of the distal rim fractured from the insert.The fragment broke in fatigue.Damage was observed on the femoral head and insert.The damage observed on the femoral head was consistent with the head articulating against the rim of the insert after the insert broke.No materials or manufacturing defects were observed on the surfaces examined." -medical records received and evaluation: not performed as medical records were not provided for review.-device history review: all devices in the reported lot were manufactured and accepted into final stock with no relevant reported discrepancies.-complaint history review: there have been no other events for the reported lot.Conclusions: the investigation concluded that the edge loading on the rim of the omnifit liner resulted in the fracture of the liner.However, the root cause could not be determined.Further information such as progress notes and patient history is needed to complete the investigation for determining the root cause.No further investigation for this event is possible at this time as insufficient information was received by stryker orthopaedics.If additional information becomes available, this investigation will be reopened.
