Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Reported event an event regarding impingement/rom, wear/metallosis and abnormal ion level involving a mdm liner was reported.The event of impingement and metallosis was confirmed via clinician review and the event of abnormal ion level was not confirmed.Method & results: product evaluation and results: material analysis, visual, functional and dimensional inspections could not be performed as the device was not returned.Medical records received and evaluation: a review of the provided medical information by a clinical consultant indicated: confirmation: a revision surgery was performed.Impingement noted at the time of revision with notching of the neck.Injuries and/or excessive levels of chromium and cobalt could not be confirmed.Root cause: a root cause cannot be ascertained without additional medical records.That said, impingement and notching of the femoral neck was noted at the time of the revision and this could certainly explain the concern and/or finding of increased metal levels (if confirmed) and metallosis.Poduct history review: a review of the device manufacturing records indicate that all devices accepted into final stock were free from discrepancies.Complaint history review: there have been no other similar events for the lot referenced.Conclusions: it was reported that the patient's hip was revised due to excessive levels of chromium and cobalt in his blood, metallosis and impingement of the posterior (stem) neck on the mdm liner.Clinician review of provided medical records indicate that impingement noted at the time of revision with notching of the neck, while excessive levels of chromium and cobalt could not be confirmed.The exact cause of the event could not be determined.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.
