It was reported that a revision surgery was performed due to patient fall which caused a periprosthetic fracture.The affected legion ps np femoral component, used in treatment, was not returned for evaluation.Therefore a product analysis could not be performed.Our investigation including a review of the manufacturing records for the listed batch did not reveal any deviation from the standard manufacturing processes.A review of the complaint history for the listed part revealed no prior complaints for the listed failure mode with the same batch number.At this time, we have no reason to suspect that the product failed to meet any product specifications at the time of manufacture.A relationship, if any, between the device and the reported incident could not be corroborated.A clinical evaluation noted that no relevant supporting documentation was provided, therefore a thorough medical investigation could not be performed.Potential causes could include but not limited to traumatic injury or size of device.Based on this investigation, the need for corrective action is not indicated.Without the return of the actual product involved and no patient medical records, our investigation of this report is inconclusive.No further investigation warranted for this complaint; however we will continue to monitor for future complaints and investigate as necessary.
