Batch review performed on 19 august 2021: lot 1906192: (b)(4) items manufactured and released on 30-oct-2019.Expiration date: 2024-oct-20.No anomalies found related to the problem.To date, (b)(4) items of the same lot have been sold without any similar reported event.Clinical evaluation performed by medical affairs director: one year after hybrid tha in a young dysplastic lady patient both stem and cup are mobilized.For the stem, the pre-revision xray shows discontinued cement mantle and rather poor bone quality, although there is no mention of an infection or osteomalacia in the report.In the dysplastic acetabulum, it seems that in spite of the multihole configuration and the use of screws, the shallow acetabulum did not allow good pressfit to be established, notwithstanding the acetabular roof reconstruction.The report also mentions that similar symptoms are being reported from the contralateral side, which is a rather significant aspect that may lead to think that a systemic disorder is in place.No final conclusion can be reached, but except the cement mantle on the femoral side we can see no anomalies in the implantation procedure, and also the cement mantle is hardly sufficient cause for an early loosening.
