    Narratives

    Additional Manufacturer Narrative · 1

    VISUAL EXAMINATION OF THE RETURNED DEVICES FINDS EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT DISASSOCIATION OF THE LINER AND CUP WHILE IMPLANTED. THE RETURNED FEMORAL HEAD EXHIBITS SIGNS OF COMING INTO DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE ACETABULAR CUP, FURTHER SUPPORTING THE DISASSOCIATION. IN THIS CASE THREE OF THE ARD'S OF THE POLYETHYLENE LINER HAVE FRACTURED. IT IS EVIDENT THAT THE EDGE OF THE LINER WAS LOADED BY THE FEMORAL HEAD AND PATIENT BODY WEIGHT WHILE IMPLANTED. THERE ARE MACHINING LINES YET VISIBLE WITHIN THE INNER RADIUS OF THE LINER WHICH WOULD NOT BE AS OBVIOUSLY PRESENT HAD THE FEMORAL HEAD BEEN MORE CENTRALLY LOADED. NO PATIENT DEMOGRAPHICS HAVE BEEN MADE AVAILABLE. PATIENT X-RAYS CONFIRM THE REPORTED DISASSOCIATION. A SEARCH OF THE COMPLAINTS DATABASES FINDS NO OTHER REPORTS AGAINST THE PRODUCT/LOT CODE COMBINATIONS. THE INVESTIGATION CAN DRAW NO CONCLUSION WITH THE INFORMATION PROVIDED. BASED ON THE INABILITY TO DETERMINE ROOT CAUSE, THE NEED FOR CORRECTIVE ACTION HAS NOT BEEN INDICATED. DEPUY CONSIDERS THE INVESTIGATION CLOSED. SHOULD ADDITIONAL INFORMATION BE RECEIVED, THE INFORMATION WILL BE REVIEWED AND THE INVESTIGATION WILL BE RE-OPENED AS NECESSARY.
