It was reported that during the trialing stage of a revision surgery, it was found that the shoulder of the stem impinged on the rim of the cup at around the 10 o'clock positions during abduction and external rotation of the limb.The surgeon feels the cup version is normal and the shoulder of the stem should not impinge at this point.The affected complaint devices, used in treatment, were not returned for evaluation.Therefore a product analysis could not be performed.Our investigation including a review of the manufacturing records for the listed batches did not reveal any deviation from the standard manufacturing processes.A review of the complaint history for the listed parts 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 products failed to meet any product specifications at the time of manufacture.A relationship, if any, between the devices and the reported incident could not be corroborated.No medical documents were received for investigation.Thus no thorough investigation could not be performed.Some potential causes could include but are not limited to surgeon technique not tightening trial body endcap or bone impingement from the greater trochanter.Review of the instructions for use and risk management files identified the reported failure as potential adverse events.Based on this investigation, the need for corrective action is not indicated.No further investigation is warranted for this complaint; however, smith and nephew will continue to monitor for future complaints and investigate as necessary.Should additional information be received, this complaint will be reopened and reevaluated.We consider this investigation closed.
