Reported event: an event regarding disassociation and abnormal ion level/ altr involving an accolade stem 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 failure of a total hip arthroplasty about 8 years after implantation due to trunnionosis and head disassociation associated with elevated metal ion levels.I can confirm that this event took place since i was able to review the revision operation report.Regarding the possible root cause of this event, i cannot determine it with certainty.Causes of trunnionosis and disassociation are multifactorial including surgical technique factors, patient factors, and implant factors.-product history review: review of the device history records indicate the devices were manufactured and accepted into final stock with no relevant reported 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 her blood, right hip prosthetic joint disassociation, felt secondary to trunnionosis, abductor repair failure and extensive pseudo-tumor about the hip joint capsule with extensive metal debris.The event was confirmed via clinician review.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.
