This final / follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional information.G3: report source, foreign / event occurred in italy.As the product has not been received, the investigation was limited to the information provided; a review of radiographs, device history records and complaint history.Additional information received: one radiograph taken post revision surgery was reviewed by the scientific marketing associate director.The post revision radiograph shows that the positioning of the trabecular multi-holes shell is positioned too medially with a bony contact only at the equatorial rim of the shell.This positioning is the direct cause of the failure.A review of the manufacturing history records confirms no abnormalities or deviations reported.A review of the complaint database over the last 3 years has found no similar complaints reported with these items.The most likely root cause from the investigation findings is improper positioning of the liner and cup, the x-ray review does not suggest that the head contributed to the reported event.Risk assessment: previous risk assessment for this complaint is unchanged by the information provided by additional information.X-ray review suggests that the positioning of the liner and cup is considered the cause of revisions undertaken, and therefore no root cause is assignable related to item: 650-1056 ceramic head.Rmf documents have been reattached for reference, but outcome of the reported event is still considered in line with severity as anticipated for harm of dislocation for this event.No corrective or preventive actions are deemed necessary at this time.Due to fact that this is a legal claim, our legal department has been provided with the relevant facts from the customer.Further information concerning the case will be provided by the legal department to our complaint handling department as and when it becomes available.If any additional information becomes available, then the complaint will be reopened and investigated thoroughly.
