It was reported that a left hip revision surgery was performed.As of today, the implanted devices, all of which were used in treatment have not been returned for evaluation.Without a definitive batch number, a complete review of the historical complaints data cannot be performed for the femoral head and the acetabular cup.A review of historical complaints data was performed using part numbers and the reported failure modes to evaluate patterns of repeated failures or defects in a timeframe prior 12 months as of the complaint aware date.Other similar complaints were identified for the part number and the reported/related failure mode for the femoral head.Other similar complaints were identified for the part number and the reported/related failure mode for the acetabular cup.This will continue to be monitored.As no device batch numbers were provided for investigation, manufacturing record review, and device labelling / ifu review could not be performed.If more information is received, this investigation will be reopened.A risk management review was performed.The alleged failure modes and associated risks have been anticipated within the risk file and the anticipated risk level is still adequate.No further actions are required at this time.A review of historic escalation actions related to the products and similar complaint events was performed.Following the review, no prior applicable escalation actions were identified.The medical documents were reviewed.With the available information, the root cause for the heterotopic bone cannot be concluded but some patients can be genetically predisposed, it is a known complication of joint surgeries and is related to the procedure and not the device.Elevated metal ions and diagnostic images consistent with metallosis were reported; however, no lab values, x-rays nor reports were provided.The clinical root cause of the ¿large fluid collection, loss of anterior capsule and large abductor tear cannot be confirmed.It cannot be concluded that the reported clinical reactions were associated with a mal performance of the implant.The patient impact beyond the revision and expected transient post-op convalescence period cannot be determined.Based on the information provided we cannot confirm or further investigate the reported complaint, our investigation remains inconclusive, and a definitive root cause cannot be determined.Specific factors known to contribute to the alleged fault are excessive physical activity levels, unreasonable stress on replacement system, excessive patient weight, trauma to the joint replacement.Should the devices or additional information be received, the complaint will be reopened.Based on this investigation, the need for corrective and preventative actions is not indicated.H6: health effect - clinical code.
