Investigation results were made available.Event description: it was reported that the patient had initial right tha on (b)(6) 2020.Subsequently, the patient experienced a first anterior dislocation which was reduced in the or on (b)(6) 2020 (covered in (b)(4)).On (b)(6) 2020 the patient dislocated again and underwent reduction.One day later, on (b)(6) 2020 the patient underwent revision due to subluxation, dislocation, pain, impingement, and noise (clicking), which is covered in this complaint.Review of received data: review of medical records: medical records were provided and reviewed by a health care professional.Review of the available records identified the following: the patient underwent a right total hip arthroplasty on (b)(6) 2020 due to osteoarthritis.Zimmer biomet components were implanted without complications.Office notes dated (b)(6) 2020 state the patient dislocated the right hip again when she was in bed and rolled over with her knee flexed.Another closed reduction procedure was performed.Revision notes dated (b)(6) 2020 state impingement on the elevated poly liner with anterior dislocation.There is a very palpable click as the hip dislocates.The liner and the head were removed and replaced with new zimmer biomet products.No other complication/findings related to the event were noted.Review of the radiographs identified the patient's bone quality was osteopenic.Patient data: k.N-b., female, born (b)(6) 1977.Product evaluation: no product was returned; therefore, visual and dimensional evaluation could not be performed.Review of product documentation: device purpose: this device is intended for treatment.Product compatibility: the compatibility check was performed from www.Productcompatibility.Zimmer.Com and showed that the product combination was approved by zimmer biomet.Dhr review: review of the device history records identified no deviations or anomalies during manufacturing.Conclusion: it was reported that the patient had initial right tha on (b)(6) 2020.Subsequently, the patient experienced a first anterior dislocation which was reduced in the or on (b)(6) 2020 (covered in (b)(4)).On (b)(6) 2020 the patient dislocated again and underwent reduction.One day later, on (b)(6) 2020 the patient underwent revision due to subluxation, dislocation, pain, impingement, and noise (clicking), which is covered in this complaint.Based on the revision report it can be assumed that the elevated insert together with alignment and orientation of the shell and the stem led to the mentioned impingement leading to dislocation.The quality records show that all specified characteristics have met the specifications valid at the time of production.Therefore, the investigation did not identify a non-conformance or a complaint out of box (coob).Based on the investigation, choice and orientation of the implants chosen for the patient's anatomy during initial right tha are considered the cause for the reported impingement leading to the reported dislocation.The need for corrective measures is not indicated and zimmer switzerland manufacturing gmbh considers this case as closed.Zimmer biomet's reference number of this file is (b)(4).
