Product complaint # (b)(4).Investigation summary: the patient consults on (b)(6) 2023 for pain and audible crack in the thigh right with functional impotence.On imaging, observation of the fracture of the stem centro medullary about 3 cms from the section bone, without associated loosening, without trauma surgical intervention on (b)(6) 2023 for replacement with a prosthesis reconstruction of lps distal femur with stem diameter 15mm, length 150mm.The device associated with this report was returned to depuy synthes for evaluation.Visual inspection of the returned device found that the lps cem fem stem 11x150mm bow was fractured from the shaft approximately 3 centimeters from the base.The fractured surface presents signs of high cycle low stress fatigue.The mode of failure of the device is multi-factorial and consideration must be given to all other potential influences such as surgical process, patient variables (e.G.Activity level and use), anatomical considerations and patient changes over time.Any conclusions from the investigational input provided have to be placed into context with all other relevant factors.A functional test was not performed since it was not applicable to the complaint condition.A dimensional inspection was not performed since it was not applicable to the complaint condition.The overall complaint was confirmed as the observed condition of the lps cem fem stem 11x150mm bow would have contributed to the complained issue.Based on the investigation findings, it has been determined that no corrective and/or preventative action is proposed.Additional monitoring for any potential safety signals will be conducted through complaint trending and other post-market safety surveillance activities.Drawing/specifications reviewed? dwg 198715211 rev.R current and manufactured.Device history lot 1) quantity manufactured: (b)(4), 2) date of manufacture: 07/05/2018, 3) any anomalies or deviations identified in dhr: none, 4) expiry date: 06/30/2028, 5) ifu reference: ifu-0902-00-773.Device history review 1) quantity manufactured: (b)(4), 2) date of manufacture: 07/05/2018, 3) any anomalies or deviations identified in dhr: none, 4) expiry date: 06/30/2028, 5) ifu reference: ifu-0902-00-773.H10 additional narrative: added: d4 corrected h3.
