Reported event an event regarding disassociation and wear involving an unknown head was reported.The event was confirmed via clinician review.Method & results: product evaluation and results: material analysis, visual, functional and dimensional inspections could not be performed as the device was not returned.Clinician review: a review of the provided medical information by a clinical consultant indicated: this inquiry reports the revision of a total hip replacement due to head disassociation from the femoral stem with evidence of trunnion deformity and wear.Regarding the possible root cause of this event, i cannot determine it with certainty.Causes of trunnion deformity and wear are multifactorial including implant factors, surgical technique factors and patient factors.Product history review: could not be performed as the device lot details were not provided.Complaint history review: could not be performed as the device lot details were not provided.Conclusions: it was reported that the patient was revised due to head disassociation from the femoral stem with evidence of trunnion deformity and wear.The event was confirmed via clinician review.The exact cause of the event could not be determined because insufficient information was provided.Further information such as pathology reports, pre- and post-operative x-rays and the primary operative report as well as patient history and follow-up notes are needed to complete the investigation for determining root cause.No further investigation for this event is possible at this time.If devices and / or additional information become available to indicate further evaluation is warranted, this record will be reopened.
