The device, used in treatment, was not returned for evaluation but the pictures were reviewed, and the failure mode was confirmed.The clinical/medical investigation concluded that, based on the documentation provided, the reported high pf pressure and the suspected early post-primary loosening were most likely contributing factors to the reported event.The patient impact beyond the reported findings and subsequent revision ¿with bone grafting¿ could not be determined.No further medical assessment can be rendered at this time.Should additional clinical documentation become available in the future, the clinical/medical task may be re-evaluated.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 some potential probable causes that could contribute to the reported event have been identified as abnormal motion over time, bone degeneration, fit/sizing issue, lack of ingrowth, lifetime of device, and/or traumatic injury.Based on this investigation, the need for corrective action is not indicated.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.
