Reported event: an event regarding wear & disassociation involving a metal head was reported.The event was confirmed via medical review.Method & results: product evaluation and results: material analysis, visual, functional and dimensional inspections could not be performed as the device was not returned.Clinician review: a review of the provided medical records by a clinical consultant indicated: "conclusion/assessment: there is no patient history, medical records or sequential x-rays provided for review.Revision data was not provided for review.The pi report notes a crack occurring in the "cone" of the hip stem when the patient bent over.The primary operative report shows placement of a tmzf stem with a lfit v40 metal head.Unlabeled/undated x-rays show disarticulation of the femoral head from the stem and likely fracture/severe trunnion wear.A revision surgery is not documented but alluded to and would be expected.Event confirmation: disarticulation of an lfit v40 metal femoral head from a tmzf stem can be confirmed.Fracture of the stem and/or severe trunnion wear is noted.Revision cannot be confirmed but would be expected.Root cause: the root cause of the proposed revision would be disarticulation of the lfit v40 metal femoral head from the tmzf stem.The root cause of the disarticulation of the head would be either fracture/severe trunnion wear.The root cause for the fracture/severe trunnionosis cannot be stated." product history review: review of the device history records indicate devices were manufactured and accepted into final stock with no relevant reported discrepancies.Complaint history review: there have been no other similar events for the lot referenced.Conclusions: it was reported that the patient was revised due to trunnion wear/fracture.A review of the provided medical records by a clinical consultant indicated: "conclusion/assessment: there is no patient history, medical records or sequential x-rays provided for review.Revision data was not provided for review.The pi report notes a crack occurring in the "cone" of the hip stem when the patient bent over.The primary operative report shows placement of a tmzf stem with a lfit v40 metal head.Unlabeled/undated x-rays show disarticulation of the femoral head from the stem and likely fracture/severe trunnion wear.A revision surgery is not documented but alluded to and would be expected.Event confirmation: disarticulation of an lfit v40 metal femoral head from a tmzf stem can be confirmed.Fracture of the stem and/or severe trunnion wear is noted.Revision cannot be confirmed but would be expected.Root cause: the root cause of the proposed revision would be disarticulation of the lfit v40 metal femoral head from the tmzf stem.The root cause of the disarticulation of the head would be either fracture/severe trunnion wear.The root cause for the fracture/severe trunnionosis cannot be stated." no further investigation for this event is possible at this time.If devices and/or additional information become available to indicate further evaluation is warranted, this record will be reopened.
