Batch review performed on 10 feb 2026.(k201471) lot: 2414755: (b)(4) items manufactured and released on 09 nov 2024.Expiration date: 23 oct 2029.One nonconformity and two anomalies were recorded; however, no anomalies were confirmed as related to the reported issue during the batch review activities.To date, (b)(4) items from the same lot have been sold, with no similar confirmed events reported for this lot during the period of review.(k1706909) lot: 2424966: (b)(4) items manufactured and released on 25 nov 2024.Expiration date: 07 nov 2029.Two anomalies were recorded; however, no anomalies were confirmed as related to the reported issue during the batch review activities.To date, (b)(4) items from the same lot have been sold, with no similar confirmed events reported for this lot during the period of review.Investigation: revision surgery was performed to replace the medacta proximal body due to instability and dislocation, with the aim of correcting the rotation and implanting a proximal body 10 mm longer.However, it was not possible to detach the medacta proximal body from the stem because the disassembly instruments bent during the procedure.This issue occurs sporadically, particularly in re-revision cases performed time after the initial stem implantation.It is likely that, in some cases, a combined effect of the manufacturing tolerances of the two mating components of the modular taper results in a higher-than-normal connection force.The fact that some time passed after the first implantation, means that the modular junction was further locked by the weight of the patient during walking, etc.Under these conditions, during re-revision procedures, the current extraction instruments are not sufficiently robust to disengage the modular junction.
