Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported that the patient's right hip was revised due to dissociation of the ceramic femoral head from the adm/ mdm poly insert.Index surgeon believed the patient had fallen, but x-rays taken prior to revision did not appear to show signs of dissociation.The head and insert were revised to a metal head and another adm/ mdm poly insert.

Additional Manufacturer Narrative

An event regarding disassociation involving an adm liner was reported.The event was confirmed via medical review.Method & results: -product evaluation and results: visual inspection: visual inspection of the returned device indicated that the rim of the inner diameter of the liner is slightly deformed.Minor scratches are observed in the inner diameter and along the outer surface of the liner.The observed surface characteristics appear consistent with damage sustained from the disassociation event and/or contact with explantation tooling.Dimensional inspection: dimensional inspection could not be performed because the device was returned damaged.Deformation of uhmwpe can occur due to time spent implanted, dislocation, explantation, and a variety of other factors, and this damage may not be visibly apparent.Any results received from a dimensional inspection of a damaged device would not be reflective of the manufactured state of the device.Functional inspection: functional inspection could not be performed as the device was returned damaged and function of the device in-vivo cannot be replicated.Material analysis: material analysis was not performed as the event does not relate to material integrity.-clinician review: a review of medical records by clinical consultant indicated: "this is a case of dislocation/disassociation of a femoral head from and mdm/adm liner.This is a well-known complication and its cause is multifactorial including possible trauma and surgical technique and the biomechanics of a reconstructed hip joint with possible impingement that could lever out the head.I can confirm that the event occurred since i was able to review the x-rays with the dislocation/disassociation.I cannot confirm the revision for certain since i do not have an operation report.The root cause cannot be confirmed with certainty.As mentioned above, causes of this complication are multifactorial including surgical technique factors and patient factors including trauma.There could be the possibility of an implant factor if there was a mismatch or intolerance of size between the femoral head and the polyethylene liner.The only way to confirm that possibility would be with analysis by stryker engineers." -product history review: review of the device history records indicate 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: visual inspection of the returned device indicated that the rim of the inner diameter of the liner is slightly deformed.Minor scratches are observed in the inner diameter and along the outer surface of the liner.The observed surface characteristics appear consistent with damage sustained from the disassociation event and/or contact with explantation tooling.Dimensional inspection could not be performed because the device was returned damaged.Deformation of uhmwpe can occur due to time spent implanted, dislocation, explantation, and a variety of other factors, and this damage may not be visibly apparent.Any results received from a dimensional inspection of a damaged device would not be reflective of the manufactured state of the device.Functional inspection could not be performed as the device was returned damaged and function of the device in-vivo cannot be replicated.Material analysis was not performed as the event does not relate to material integrity.A review of medical records by clinical consultant indicated: "this is a case of dislocation/disassociation of a femoral head from and mdm/adm liner.This is a well-known complication and its cause is multifactorial including possible trauma and surgical technique and the biomechanics of a reconstructed hip joint with possible impingement that could lever out the head.I can confirm that the event occurred since i was able to review the x-rays with the dislocation/disassociation.I cannot confirm the revision for certain since i do not have an operation report.The root cause cannot be confirmed with certainty.As mentioned above, causes of this complication are multifactorial including surgical technique factors and patient factors including trauma.There could be the possibility of an implant factor if there was a mismatch or intolerance of size between the femoral head and the polyethylene liner.The only way to confirm that possibility would be with analysis by stryker engineers." no further investigation for this event is possible at this time.If additional information become available to indicate further evaluation is warranted, this record will be reopened.
