Batch review performed on 03 march 2026.Stem: quadra-p collared 01.12.164 quadra-p collared std.Size 4 (k192827) lot 2510361: (b)(4) items manufactured and released 28-aug-2025.Expiration date: 05-aug-2030.No anomalies found related to the problem.To date, (b)(4) items of the same lot have been sold with no similar reported event during the period of review.Clinical evaluation: a few days after primary cementless tha, the patient complains of a fracture at the lesser trochanter level, with no reported trauma.It is conceivable that the bone was damaged during femoral preparation; this is a possible adverse event connected with tha, described in the instructions for use.No real radiograph was supplied; from the intraoperative fluoroscopic image, a rather peculiar femoral shape can be imagined, and this may have contributed to making the femoral preparation rather difficult and riskier.It seems that the surgeon, a highly experienced professional in total joint replacement, performed a rather low resection: there must be a reason for this choice, but it&size39; s difficult to tell because of the lack of images provided.No reason to suspect that the adverse event was caused by a defective or malfunctioning device.Root cause: bone fracture is a possible literature-described adverse event after primary joint arthroplasties and causes are often unknown.There is no indication that any potential issue with the device may have caused or contributed to the event.No previous case has been addressed to a device design or manufacturing related root cause.
