The device was not returned for evaluation; therefore, a device analysis could not be performed.The clinical/medical investigation concluded that, the clinical root cause of the dislocation and subsequent revision is likely related to the patient¿s fall as reported.Based on the limited information provided, it cannot be concluded that the reported events were related to a malperformance of the implant.The patient impact beyond the dislocation and revision cannot be determined.No further medical assessment is warranted at this time.Device batch number was not provided, thus, an evaluation of the manufacturing records could not be performed.A review of complaint history for the previous 12 months did not reveal similar events for the listed device.A review of the instructions for use documents for the or3o dual mobility system reveals in the potential complications associated with total hip arthroplasty surgery, primary or revision that dislocations, subluxation, decreased range of motion, or lengthening or shortening of the femur can occur.A review of the risk management file revealed this failure mode was previously identified.The anticipated risk level is still adequate.A historical review concluded that there are no prior actions related to this product and event.At this time, we have no reason to suspect that the product failed to meet any specifications at the time of manufacture.With the results of this investigation the root cause of this event could not be determined.Factors that could contribute to the reported event include traumatic injury, patient anatomy, postoperative care or abnormal loading of limb.Based on this investigation, the need for corrective action is not indicated.Should the device or additional information be received, the complaint will be reopened.No further investigation is warranted for this complaint; however, we will continue to monitor for future complaints and investigate as necessary.We consider this investigation closed.
