An event regarding disassociation and wear involving a accolade stem was reported.Material analysis of the returned devices confirmed the loss of taper lock between the femoral head and stem and stem trunnion wear.Method & results: product evaluation and results: visual inspection of the returned device noted the following: the returned hip stem is exhibited in figures 1-8.Images were obtained for the stem from the anterior, posterior, inferior, and superior view in figures 3-6.Damage was observed on the stem consistent with the implantation/explantation process on the neck and main body figures 4, 5 and 7.Damage was observed on the stem trunnion consistent with the loss of taper lock figure 8.Material analysis of the returned device noted the following: damage consistent with the implantation/explantation process was observed on the stem neck and main body.Damage consistent with loss of taper lock was observed on the stem trunnion.Evidence of impingement from the stem was observed on the distal rim of the head.Discoloration was observed on the articulating surface of the head and the source was unable to be determined.Debris was observed on the taper of the head consistent with the base material, material transfer from the stem, an oxide, and a biological material.Elemental analysis confirmed that the base material of the head is consistent with an astm f1537 and the stem is consistent with an astm f1813 alloy.Based on the given information, no identifiable material or manufacturing discrepancies were observed on the surfaces examined.Medical records received and evaluation: a review of the provided medical records by a clinical consultant stated the following comment: cannot confirm event, need additional information; revision operative reports, clinical and past medical history, additional serial dated x-rays and examination of explanted components.-product history review: a review of the device manufacturing records indicate that all devices accepted into final stock were free from discrepancies.Complaint history review: there have been no other similar events for the lot referenced.Conclusions: material analysis concluded that damage consistent with loss of taper lock was observed on the stem trunnion.No further investigation for this event is required at this time.If additional information becomes available to indicate further evaluation is warranted, this record will be reopened.
