Reported event an event regarding crack/fracture involving a restoration modular body was reported.The event was confirmed through mar and clinician review of the provided medical records.Method & results -product evaluation and results: visual inspection: visual inspection was performed as part of the material analysis report (mar), dated 08 sept 2025.This inspection indicated: the image depicted shows the restoration modular cone body with fracture location highlighted.The fracture occurred through the neck of the cone body.Stereo microscope imaging was performed on both the distal and proximal fracture surfaces, respectively.The distal fracture surface, exhibited macroscopic surface features consistent with beach marks and the approximate location of origin (o), direction of propagation (p) and final fracture region (f) were determined.The macroscopic surface features observed on the fracture surfaces indicate the component fracture propagated in fatigue.Wear and abrasion damage which was observed on the proximal edge of the restoration modular cone body.Dimensional inspection: not performed as the dimensional aspects are not in question.Functional inspection: not performed as the functional aspects are not in question.Material analysis: a material analysis has been performed.The report concluded: review of the restoration modular cone body, catalogue # 6276-1-125, lot code 85743202, v40 taper vit head, catalogue # 1236-2-854, lot code 516602, and restoration adm x3 insert, catalogue # 6260-5-328, lot code 74129601 confirmed a fracture through the neck of the cone body.Characterisation using stereo microscopy and scanning electron microscopy confirmed fracture to have propagated in fatigue with final fracture in overload.Evidence of contact with another material was found on the lateral edge of the restoration modular cone body.No manufacturing or material related defects were observed on the device surfaces examined.-clinician review: a review of the provided medical records by a clinical consultant indicated: i have reviewed the documentation provided for pi including the product inquiry cover sheet 2 ap pelvis x-rays.Event description: broken conus of cone body ( restoration mod) the first ap pelvis x-ray shows a press fit restoration modular femoral stem in anatomic position with pristine interfaces.The second ap pelvis x-ray shows the same stem with a displaced fracture of the prosthetic femoral neck.Displaced fracture of the prosthetic femoral neck of restoration modular femoral stem is confirmed.The root cause of this mechanical complication is not able to be determined from the information provided.Should further documentation becomes available i would be happy to further this investigation.-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: a material analysis has been performed.The report concluded: review of the restoration modular cone body, catalogue # 6276-1-125, lot code 85743202, v40 taper vit head, catalogue # 1236-2-854, lot code 516602, and restoration adm x3 insert, catalogue # 6260-5-328, lot code 74129601 confirmed a fracture through the neck of the cone body.Characterisation using stereo microscopy and scanning electron microscopy confirmed fracture to have propagated in fatigue with final fracture in overload.Evidence of contact with another material was found on the lateral edge of the restoration modular cone body.No manufacturing or material related defects were observed on the device surfaces examined.A review of the provided medical records by a clinical consultant indicated: i have reviewed the documentation provided for pi including the product inquiry cover sheet 2 ap pelvis x-rays.Event description: broken conus of cone body ( restoration mod) the first ap pelvis x-ray shows a press fit restoration modular femoral stem in anatomic position with pristine interfaces.The second ap pelvis x-ray shows the same stem with a displaced fracture of the prosthetic femoral neck.Displaced fracture of the prosthetic femoral neck of restoration modular femoral stem is confirmed.The root cause of this mechanical complication is not able to be determined from the information provided.No further investigation for this event is possible at this time.If additional information become available to indicate further evaluation is warranted, this record will be reopened.
