H3, h6: the devices were not returned for evaluation; therefore, a device analysis could not be performed.The clinical/medical investigation concluded that, patient had a total hip replacement (b)(6) 2024 and a revision 5-weeks post implantation.It was reported the patient experienced pain, feeling of wrongness and dislocation.As of the date of this medical investigation, the requested supporting clinical documentation has not been provided; therefore, there were no clinical factors found which would have contributed to the reported events/clinical reactions.The surgeon did not think products failed.The patient impact was the revision.No further clinical assessment is warranted at this time.A review of the production orders did not reveal a manufacturing abnormality that could have caused or contributed to the reported incident.A review of complaint history for the part numbers over the past 12 months and for the batch numbers based on historical data of the device did not reveal similar events for the listed devices.A review of the instructions for use documents for total hip systems reveals for preoperative warnings and precautions that improper neck selection, positioning, looseness of acetabular or femoral components, extraneous bone, penetration of the femoral prosthesis through the shaft of the femur, fracture of the acetabulum, intrapelvic protrusion of acetabular component, femoral impingement, periarticular calcification, and/or excessive reaming may increase the risk of dislocations, subluxation, decreased range of motion, or lengthening or shortening of the femur, which may lead to revision surgery.The intraoperative warnings and precautions indicate that muscle looseness and/or malpositioning of components may result in loosening, subluxation and dislocation.Additionally, ectopic bone and/or bone spurs may lead to dislocation and painful or restricted motion and proper positioning of the components is important to minimize impingement which could lead to early failure, premature wear, device related noise, and/or dislocation, all of which may lead to revision surgery.Postoperative warnings and precautions highlight the need of warning patients against unassisted activity, particularly use of toilet facilities and other activities that require excessive motion of the hip, as they may result in subluxation or dislocation.A review of the risk management files 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 these products and event.At this time, we have no evidence to conclude that the products failed to meet any specifications at the time of manufacture.Factors that could contribute to the reported event include traumatic injury, patient condition, postoperative care, size selected 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.
