Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
Results of investigation: it was reported that the patient dislocated the hip.A closed reduction was performed and failed.Therefore, a revision surgery had to be conducted.The device (75018942/ polarcup xlpe insert 43/22 non-cem) intended for use in treatment was not returned for investigation nor was a batch number communicated.An appropriate investigation could therefore not be conducted and the reported failure mode could not independently be confirmed.A review of the complaint history revealed five complaints reported for a similar issue.However, it cannot be determined if the additional complaints are related to the one in scope due to missing information.The ifu (lit.No.12.23 ed 05/16) lists dislocation as a known possible side effect resulting from a hip arthroplasty.A review of the risk management documentation verifies the failure mode and severity of the reported issue.Based on the limited information provided, a thorough medical assessment could not be performed.Complaint reference: (b)(4).
