Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
The affected oxonium femoral head was returned and evaluated.It was reported that a revision was performed "several years" post implantation due to disassociation.There have been three unsuccessful attempts to obtain supporting medical documentation, and very limited complaint details have been provided.The patient impact beyond the revision surgery cannot be determined as there is no report of the patient¿s current condition or how the procedure was tolerated.No further clinical assessment can be performed.A lab analysis noted the visually identified scratches and gouges on the femoral head are consistent with damage likely caused by articulating contact with another metal component such as the shell.Eds analysis of the gouged surface area confirms the presence of titanium in the examined area.This is likely due to contact and transfer from another component.Additional scratches on the face and chamfer areas leading into the internal taper were also observed.These scratches were likely produced during removal/extraction of the head.No other damage was noted on the femoral head.A review of complaint history revealed no prior complaints for the listed batch of femoral head.A review of the manufacturing records did not reveal any deviations that could have caused or contributed to the reported incident.No further investigation is warranted for this complaint; however, we will continue to monitor for future complaints.Should additional information be received, the complaint will be reopened.We consider this investigation closed.
