Batch review performed on 31 aug 2026 lot 2512728: 96 items manufactured and released on 22/jul/2025.Expiration date: 02/jul/2030.No anomalies found related to the problem.To date, 93 items of the same lot have been sold with no similar reported event during the period of review.Clinical evaluation performed by medical affairs director approximately six and a half months after primary cementless tha, revision surgery was performed because of pain and instability associated with reported migration of the acetabular cup.No traumatic event was reported.The available ap radiograph suggests relatively superficial acetabular preparation, with limited depth of cup engagement, which may have reduced the initial press-fit and implant-bone contact.A focal area of bone rarefaction is also visible superior to the cup and could be compatible with a pre-existing or developing cystic bone lesion; however, this cannot be confirmed from the single available image and is not mentioned in the complaint report.Considering the relatively early loss of fixation of a cementless cup, the most probable mechanism is insufficient primary stability achieved at the index procedure, with subsequent micromotion and migration before adequate osseointegration could occur.Based on the available information, there are no elements to suggest a defective or malfunctioning device.Root cause:the cup migration was most likely related to insufficient primary stability, with subsequent micromotion before adequate osseointegration.Altered bone quality may also have contributed, although this cannot be confirmed.There is no indication that any potential issue with the device may have caused or contributed to the event.
