This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional information.No product was returned or pictures provided; visual and dimensional evaluations could not be performed.Review of the device history record identified no deviations or anomalies during manufacturing for the cage.Radiographs were provided and reviewed by a health care professional.Review of the available records identified the following: left-sided acetabular reconstruction.Left total hip arthroplasty with loosening or malposition of an acetabular cup which is vertically oriented.Dislocation of the left femoral head which also appears to be dissociated from the femoral stem.The root cause of the reported issue is attributed to off label use, as per the product compatibility chart, acetabular reconstruction polyethylene liners/cups and metal cages/rings, the tm revision cage is only to be used with tm products and the off-label use could have contributed to the reported event.A summary of the investigation was sent to the complainant conveying proper surgical technique and use of the device.If any further information is found which would change or alter any conclusions or information, a supplemental will be filed accordingly.Zimmer biomet will continue to monitor for trends.
