Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Reported event: an event regarding loosening involving a trident shell was reported.The event was confirmed through clinician review of the provided medical records.Method & results: product evaluation and results: visual, dimensional, functional inspection, and material analysis were not performed as the item was not returned.Clinician review: a review of the provided medical records and x-rays by a clinical consultant indicated: no history of the etiology of avascular necrosis, no examination of the explanted components, and no pre-operative x-rays or immediate post operative x-rays of the primary total hip arthroplasty or x-rays or follow up documentation between (b)(6) 2015 and (b)(6) 2016 admission except for the x-ray report of (b)(6) 2013 are available for review.Ischemic necrosis of the femoral head is not limited to the femoral head, but also involves the acetabular bone and femoral shaft.This could result in compromised bony ingrowth.Scoliosis and lumbar fusion surgery could result in less than optimal acetabular component positioning, which could also contribute to failure of biologic fixation.Documented studies have shown that failure to gain bony contact between the acetabular shell and the host bone in zone iii is associated with subsequent loosening of the acetabular component.Additional information, imaging studies and examination of the explanted components are all required to determine the cause of this clinical event.Product history review: all devices were manufactured and accepted into final stock with no relevant reported discrepancies.Complaint history review: there have been no other similar events for the reported lot.Conclusions: a review of the provided medical records by a clinical consultant confirmed the event of loosening.The exact cause of the event could not be determined because insufficient information was provided.Additional information including operative reports, progress notes, x-rays and return of the device are needed to fully investigate the event.If further information becomes available or the product is returned, this investigation will be re-opened.H3 other text : device not returned.
