Examination of the returned instrument confirmed the complaint; the top thread is damaged.The root cause is attributed to misuse.It appears that the instrument was impacted when not fully threaded into an acetabular cup as intended.This type of thread damage is unlikely to occur during normal use.The root cause is attributed to use error.Based on the investigation, the need for corrective action is not indicated.Depuy considers the investigation closed.Should additional information be received, the information will be reviewed and the investigation will be re-opened as necessary.
