Manufacturer Narrative

It was reported that the patient underwent revision surgery to remove a cocr femoral head.The patient presented metal wear debris around the soft tissue and the taper junction from the femoral head appeared to have corrosion.The associated femoral head, used in treatment, was returned and evaluated.A lab analysis conducted during this investigation noted that a visual inspection of the device found some minor gouges on the distal chamfer of the head, this was most likely due to removal.The taper surface has visual evidence of corrosion.No material or manufacturing deviations were observed in this report.Our investigation including a review of the manufacturing records for the listed batch did not reveal any deviation from the standard manufacturing processes.A review of the complaint history for the listed part revealed no prior complaints for the listed failure mode with the same batch number.At this time, we have no reason to suspect that the product failed to meet any product specifications at the time of manufacture.A relationship, if any, between the device and the reported incident could not be corroborated.A clinical evaluation noted that no relevant supporting documentation was provided, therefore a thorough medical investigation could not be performed.Based on this investigation, the need for corrective action is not indicated.This reported failure has been identified in the instructions for use and risk management files as potential adverse events.Per ifu, wear may be initiated by the presence of particles of cement, metal, or other debris which can develop during or as a result of the surgical procedure and cause abrasion of the articulating surfaces.No further investigation is warranted for this complaint; however smith and nephew will continue to monitor for future complaints and investigate as necessary.Should additional information be received, the complaint will be reopened.We consider this investigation closed.
