The device, used in treatment, was not returned for evaluation and the reported event could not be confirmed.The clinical/medical investigation concluded that, the tha revision was performed due to a periprosthetic fracture (ppf) with stem subsidence.Reportedly, no medical documentation will be provided, as the ¿surgeon did not blame the devices¿.S+n has not received the device and/or adequate documentation to fully evaluate the root cause of the reported event; however, a ppf with stem subsidence was reported.The patient impact beyond the reported events and subsequent revision could not be determined.Should additional information/ documentation become available, the clinical/medical task may be re-opened for further evaluation.No further medical assessment is warranted at this time.A review of the manufacturing records did not reveal a manufacturing abnormality that could have caused or contributed to the reported incident.A review of complaint history did not reveal additional complaints for the listed batch.A review of the risk management file and instructions for use documents revealed this failure mode was previously identified.At this time, we have no reason to suspect that the product failed to meet any product specifications at the time of manufacture.Factors and/or potential causes that could contribute to the reported event include excessive forces applied to implant and surgical technique.Based on this investigation, the need for corrective action is not indicated.Without the return of the actual product involved, our investigation could not proceed.Should the device or additional information be received, the complaint will be reopened.No further investigation is warranted for this complaint; however, we will continue to monitor for future complaints and investigate as necessary.We consider this investigation closed.B5: update summary
