Manufacturer Narrative

An event regarding loosening involving a patient specific internal proximal femur was reported.The event was confirmed by medical review.Method and results: product evaluation and results: not performed as no items were provided.Clinician review: "the implant in situ was for a revision of the internal proximal femoral replacement which was inserted on (b)(6) 2012.The surgeon has reported that the stem has an extrusion of the femoral cortex.The x-ray provided shows that the femoral bone wrapping around the proximal stem has disassociated with the component.The distal stem is loose and displaced inside the distal femoral cavity.Therefore, the x- ray review has confirmed the reason for revision".Product history review: review of the product history records indicates 1 device was manufactured and accepted into final stock on 03jul2012 with no reported discrepancies.Complaint history review: based on the device identification the complaint databases were reviewed from 28-jun2016 to present for similar reported events regarding loosening involving a patient specific proximal femur.There have been 2 other events.Conclusions: an event regarding loosening involving a patient specific proximal femur was reported.The exact cause of the event could not be determined because further information such as analysis on the retrieval implant, pre- and post-operative x-rays and the primary operative report as well as patient history and follow up notes are needed to complete the investigation for determining root cause.No further investigation for this event is possible at this time as no devices and/or insufficient information was received by siw.If devices and/or additional information become available to indicate further evaluation is warranted, this record will be re-opened.The reported device is similar to a device approved for compassionate use in the united states.
