(b)(4).This final report is being submitted to relay additional information.The following sections were updated: b4, b5, g3, g6, h1, h2, h3, h6, h10.Complaint summary: as the product has not been received, the investigation was limited to the information provided; a review of device history records, complaint history and x-ray review.In addition, we have not been provided with any supporting documentation which could provide additional information.Assessment of imaging: single ap film of the left hip demonstrates a left total hip arthroplasty with cement fixation of the acetabular cup.Significant bone loss along the femoral stem with possible evidence of osteolysis along the greater trochanter.Incomplete evaluation of the femoral stem.Impressions: left total hip arthroplasty with significant bone loss along the femoral stem and possible evidence of osteolysis along the greater trochanter.Overall fit and alignment of the implants is appropriate.Osteopenia with significant bone loss along the femoral stem and possible osteolysis at the level of the greater trochanter.Acetabular inclination angles cannot be accurately measured without a true ap pelvis film.However, visually, the acetabular cup appears to be in appropriate position.No anatomy abnormality that would cause limb length discrepancies a review of the manufacturing history records could not be performed as lot number is unknown.A review of the complaint database over the last 3 years has found 1 complaint reported with the item 12-115117 (initiating complaint).Without the opportunity to examine the complaint product, root cause cannot be determined due to insufficient information.Capa: no corrective or preventive action required at this time.If any further information is found which would change or alter any conclusions or information, a supplemental will be submitted accordingly.Zimmer biomet will continue to monitor for trends.H3 other text : device remain implanted.

It was reported that approximately two years post implantation, a revision was performed due to limb length discrepancy with custom spacer device.During the procedure noted necrotic synovial tissue, could not decouple the body from the stem due to stripping of the thread, and thin femoral bones.The head and liner were exchanged.There were past reported instances of hip dislocations.All all other implants remained in place.The patient has reported ongoing and chronic pain, swelling, and continued leg length discrepancy since the revision.The patient is now pending another custom implant due to the inability to remove the previous stem.No further event information available at the time of this report.
