Additional Manufacturer Narrative

An event regarding dislocation closed reduction involving a trident liner was reported.The event was confirmed by medical review.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: ¿on (b)(6) 2012 she was seen follow-up for left total hip revision for recurrent dislocation performed in (b)(6) 2011 and was noted to be "doing very well, not much in the way of pain and hip stable, return one year".¿the apparent failure of biologic fixation of the proximal femoral component in this osteoporotic bone and the stress riser at the proximal end of the well-fixed long lateral plate, which coincided with the junction of the distal fixed and proximal loose stem, resulted in cyclic loading at the site of fracture.As the proximal stem cycled into varus the fracture was initiated laterally and progressed to completion.Given the mechanical situation, fracture was inevitable.¿ ¿review of this additional information confirms the conclusions of my earlier report.The stem fractured at the junction of the proximal loose portion where it met the distally fixed portion resulting in cyclic loading in varus subsequently leading to fatigue failure initiated at the lateral side.This was confirmed by the previously reviewed material analysis report of (b)(6) 2010, which also noted, "no material or manufacturing defects were observed." product history review: review of the product history records indicates devices were manufactured and accepted into final stock with no reported discrepancies.Complaint history review: there have been no other events for this lot.Conclusions: the reported event for dislocation closed reduction was confirmed by the medical review which stated, ¿on (b)(6) 2012 she was seen follow-up for left total hip revision for recurrent dislocation performed in (b)(6) 2011 and was noted to be "doing very well, not much in the way of pain and hip stable, return one year".The patient also suffered two dislocation closed reductions prior to this revision surgery.
