H3, h6: it was reported that patient underwent a primary bhr right hip surgery and subsequently suffered from failed metal on metal.This adverse event was addressed by revision surgery.Furthermore, it was done acetabular reconstruction using extensive bone grafting, both patient's own bone and allograft femoral head reamings, and excision of pseudo-tumor granuloma.Also, excised the capsule and the pseudocapsule from around the joint in its entirety.Patient tolerated the procedure well.As of today, the implanted devices, all of which were used in treatment have not been returned for evaluation.A review of the historical complaints data for the alleged devices was performed using batch numbers, part numbers and the reported failure modes to evaluate patterns of repeated failures or defects.No other similar complaints have been identified for the cup and head.This will continue to be monitored via routine trending, however it should be noted that these devices are no longer sold.In the absence of the actual devices, the production records were reviewed for the devices reportedly involved in this incident.All released devices involved met manufacturing specifications upon release for distribution.The review of the product ifu found adequate warnings and precautions in relation to the alleged failure modes.A risk management review was performed.The alleged failure modes and associated risks have been anticipated within the risk file and the anticipated risk level is still adequate.No further actions are required at this time.A review of historic escalation actions related to the products and similar complaint events was performed.Following the review, prior applicable escalation actions were identified and confirmed to reduce associated risks as far as possible.No further escalation actions are required.The available medical documents were reviewed.The clinical root cause of the cyst cannot be confirmed.The acetabular placement 40 degrees abduction and 5 degrees anteversion cannot be ruled out as a possible contributing factor to the protrusio.The patient impact beyond the reported revision could not be determined.Based on the information provided, further investigation of the reported complaint cannot be carried out and remains inconclusive.A definitive root cause cannot be determined.Specific factors known to contribute to the alleged fault are excessive physical activity levels, unreasonable stress on replacement system, excessive patient weight, trauma to the joint replacement, loosening of components may increase production of wear particles and accelerate damage to the bone.Should the devices or additional information be received, the complaint will be reopened.Based on this investigation, the need for corrective and preventative actions is not indicated.H6 (health effect - clinical code).
