Batch review performed on 24 april 2026 lot 2001753: (b)(4) items manufactured and released on 10-jul-2020.Expiration date: 01-jul-2025.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.Five additional pieces (lot number 2001753a) were resterilized and released on 13-nov-2025 (expiration date 27-oct-2030), of which 3 have been sold with no similar reported event during the period of review.Clinical evaluation about 5 years after primary cementless tha, the stem is loose and requires revision.The stem looks correctly implanted.Only a-p xrays were provided, so no real evaluation of the correct sizing could be done, but the experience of the surgeon is such that an undersizing error is hardly imaginable.For unexplained reasons, the patient did not osteointegrate the implant, and the loosening is the inevitable consequence.There are no clues that we could identify to determine any other cause of this adverse event, which should probably be categorized as idiopathic aseptic loosening.Root cause: based on the information available no definitive root cause can be established, while there is no indication that any potential issue with the device may have caused or contributed to the event, and the device history record review does not indicate any potential manufacturing related issue.
