Internal complaint reference: (b)(4).The associated devices were returned and evaluated.A visual inspection of the returned device finds the insert significantly worn and discolored with deep grooves in the edge.The oxinium femoral head is also heavily damaged, the damage may have been caused by extraction activities.Devices' batch numbers were not provided; thus, an evaluation of the manufacturing records could not be performed.For the insert, a review of complaint history for the previous 12 months did not reveal similar events for the listed device.For the femoral head, a review of complaint history of the previous 12 months revealed similar events for the listed part number, this failure mode will be monitored for future complaints for any necessary corrective actions.A review of the instructions for use documents for total hip systems revealed that dislocation has been identified in warnings and precautions, that may result from improper selection of the neck length and cup, stem positioning, muscle looseness and/or malpositioning of components.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 are injury, postoperative care or abnormal loading of limb.Based on this investigation, the need for corrective action is not indicated.Should 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.Factors that could contribute to the reported event include injury, patient condition, postoperative care, size selected or abnormal loading of limb.
