Batch review performed on 25 october 2019: lot 179936: 160 items manufactured and released on 04-may-2018.Expiration date: 2023-04-25.No anomalies found related to the problem.To date, 140 items of the same lot have been already sold without any similar reported event.Clinical evaluation performed by medical affairs manager: femoral fracture occurred few days after cementless total hip arthroplasty in a 71 year old woman.During rehabilitation period, weight bearing or a sudden movement on a weakened bone due to normal femoral preparation or the presence of subclinical fissure may favour the occurrence of early fractures.There is no reason to suspect a faulty device.
