Batch review performed on 01 april 2019: lot 083746: (b)(4) items manufactured and released on 04-mar-2009.Expiration date: 2013-12-31.No anomalies found related to the problem.To date, (b)(4) items of the same lot have been already sold without any similar reported event.Clinical evaluation performed by medica affairs director: hip revision surgery occurred more than 9 years after double-mobility total hip arthroplasty.A standard polyethylene dual mobility liner had been originally implanted and coupled with a competitor stem.Some wear of a double mobility liner after 9 years is normal; the osteolytic response depends on individual factors.According to the information received, the stem neck was not polished.Medacta double-mobility cups were not tested when coupled with competitor stems: their behaviour cannot be predicted in this condition.
