The reported event could be confirmed, since the affected device was returned for investigation.The device inspection revealed the following: a review of the device history for the reported lot did not indicate any abnormalities related to the reported event.A worldwide complaint database search found one other reported incident (s) for this product/lot combination since release for distribution, but the root cause could not be determined because of insufficient information.After a thorough investigation (returned device, device history record review, complaint history review), it appears that an initial intra-prosthetic conflict took place leading to the cup loosening.The most probable root cause of this event is a surgical technique error.
