Reassessment of this event found it may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent serious injury and therefore is reportable pursuant to 21 c.F.R.§803.The device, used in treatment, was not returned for evaluation as it remains implanted in the patient.Therefore, product analysis could not be performed and the reported event could not be confirmed.A review of complaint history on the listed part revealed no prior complaints with the same failure mode.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 the risk management file found that the reported incident was documented appropriately.Review of the instructions for use and surgical technique guide found information on the proper preparation and use of the device to be adequate.No patient injury or complications have been reported to date (implantation date: 19 nov 2020).The description of the event indicates the femoral component became damaged when impacting the inlay.Follow-up information received states that the surgeon does not see cause in our products.While we are unable to determine a definitive root cause for the reported issue, probable cause may be related to an isolated user error.At this time, we have no reason to suspect that the product failed to meet any product specifications at the time of manufacture.Based on this investigation, the need for corrective action is not indicated.If the device or new information is received in the future, this complaint will be re-opened.No further actions are being taken at this time.We consider this investigation closed.
