    ON 19.APRIL.2022 WE HAVE RECEIVED THE ITEMS INVOLVED IN THE COMPLAINT. VISUAL INSPECTION PERFORMED BY R&D PROJECT MANAGER: THE DISASSEMBLY ROD ANALYZED SHOWED VISIBLE DEFORMATION, PROBABLY DUE TO A COMPRESSION LOAD HIGHER THAN EXPECTED DURING THE STEP OF DISSASSEMBLLING THE PROXIMAL BODY FROM THE DISTAL STEM. THE DIMENSIONS, MATERIAL AND HARDNESS OF THE DISASSEMBLY ROD HAVE BEEN INSPECTED AND RESULTED CONFORMING TO SPECIFICATION. THE ROOT CAUSE COULD BE THAT THE FORCE REQUIRED TO DETACH THE PROXIMAL BODY FROM THE DISTAL STEM WAS HIGHER THAN USUAL DUE COLD WELDING OF THE MODULAR JUNCTION, PROBABLY AS RESULT OF A PARTICULAR COMBINATION OF STEM/PROXIMAL BODY MODULAR JUNCTION DIMENSIONS (ACCORDING TO MANUFACTURING TOLERANCES). PROXIMAL BODY AND DISTAL STEM ARE NOT AVAILBLE FOR INSPECTION SO IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO CONFIRM ABOVE STATEMENT.

    Description of Event or Problem · 0

    DURING THE REVISION HIP SURGERY, DURING THE IMPLANT REMOVAL ATTEMPT, THE SURGEON WAS NOT ABLE TO THREAD THE PROXIMAL BODY HANDLE (01.22.10.0151 - 2055070) ONTO THE IMPLANTED PROXIMAL BODY. HE THEN SWITCHED TO THE SECOND HANDLE IN THE TRAY (01.22.10.0151 - 2053402) AND SUCCESSFULLY THREADED THE HANDLE ONTO THE PROXIMAL BODY. THE DISASSEMBLY TOOL (01.22.10.0110 - 1853910) WOULD THEN NOT THREAD INTO THE HANDLE. SINCE THE DISASSEMBLY TOOL WAS NOT USABLE, THE SURGEON APPLIED VICE GRIPS TO THE HANDLE (2053402) THAT WAS ATTACHED TO THE PROXIMAL BODY AND ATTEMPTED TO KNOCK THE BODY LOOSE FROM THE STEM. AFTER FAILING TO DISENGAGE, THE SURGEON SWITCHED TO THE FIRST HANDLE (2055070) AND WAS ABLE TO THREAD IT INTO THE PROXIMAL BODY. AT THIS POINT, THE DISASSEMBLY TOOL WAS THREADED INTO THE HANDLE AND USED AS DESIGNED WITH THE DISASSEMBLY ROD TO ATTEMPT TO DISENGAGE THE BODY FROM THE STEM, WHICH FAILED. THE DISASSEMBLY ROD FAILED TO DISENGAGE THE MORSE TAPER BETWEEN THE DISTAL STEM AND THE BODY. THE SURGEON HAD TO DO AN EXTENDED TROCHANTERIC OSTEOTOMY IN ORDER TO REMOVE THE M-VISION IMPLANTS FROM THE FEMUR. THERE WAS A 1-HOUR DELAY AND THE SURGERY WAS COMPLETED SUCCESSFULLY. A CONSIGNMENT SET WAS UTILIZED.
