H3, h6: 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 clinical root cause of the reported femoral neck fracture cannot be confirmed and it cannot be concluded that the femoral neck fracture and subsequent revision were associated with a malperformance of the implant.The patient impact beyond the reported pain, revision, and convalescent period cannot be determined.However, it is noted two weeks post revision, the patient was healing well without complications.A review of the manufacturing records did not reveal a manufacturing abnormality that could have caused or contributed to the reported incident.A complaint history review found related failures for the listed batch; this failure mode will be monitored for future complaints for any necessary corrective actions.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.Some potential probable causes for this event could include but not limited to traumatic injury or 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.
