    THIS FOLLOW-UP REPORT IS BEING FILLED TO RELAY INVESTIGATION RESULT. DHR REVIEW: THE DEVICE MANUFACTURING QUALITY RECORDS INDICATE THAT THE RELEASED COMPONENTS MET ALL REQUIREMENTS TO PERFORM AS INTENDED. TREND ANALYSIS: NO TREND CONSIDERING THE FOLLOWING EVENT IS IDENTIFIED: REVISION DUE TO BONE FRACTURE EVENT DESCRIPTION: IT WAS REPORTED THAT A PATIENT UNDERWENT AN INITIAL HIP PROCEDURE ON (B)(6) 2018. SUBSEQUENTLY THE REVISION PROCEDURE WAS PERFORMED ON (B)(6) 2018 DUE TO PERIPROSTHETIC FRACTURE. THE AVENIR STEM WAS REVISED TO A LONG STEM CEMENTED CPT. REVIEW OF RECEIVED DATA: UNDATED X-RAY 1 REVIEW: PELVIS OVERVIEW: THE CUP INCLINATION ANGLE IS COMPARATIVELY UNCHANGED. RED MARKS THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE LATERAL SHOULDER OF THE PROSTHESIS AND THE LOWER EDGE OF THE GREATER TROCHANTER. UNDATED X-RAY 2 REVIEW: PELVIS OVERVIEW: FOR THE VIEWER ON THE RIGHT EDGE RECOGNIZABLE CLIP MATERIAL. COMPARED TO THE PREVIOUS X-RAY, THE STEM SITS LOWER - THE RELATIVE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE LATERAL STEM SHOULDER AND LOWER EDGE OF THE GREATER TROCHANTER IS SIGNIFICANTLY SMALLER (RED MARKED) THE PERIPROSTHETIC FRACTURE WITH AVULSION OF THE LESSER TROCHANTER FRAGMENT IS EASY TO SEE. RELATIVELY STEEP CUP INCLINATION ANGLE OF ABOUT 58° (BLUE MARKED). POSITIONING OF THE STEM SHOULDER IN RELATION TO THE LOWER EDGE OF THE GREATER TROCHANTER (RED MARKED). COMPARED TO THE PREVIOUS X-RAY, THE FORAMEN OBTURATORIUM IS SHOWN OVAL (RED CROSS). DEVICE ANALYSIS: NO PRODUCT WAS RETURNED TO ZIMMER BIOMET FOR IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS. REVIEW OF PRODUCT DOCUMENTATION: NO PRODUCT DOCUMENTATION WAS REVIEWED FOR INVESTIGATION. CONCLUSION: THE PATIENT UNDERWENT REVISION SURGERY DUE TO PERIPROSTHETIC FRACTURE AFTER 21 DAYS IN-VIVO TIME AND THE STEM WAS REVISED. THE QUALITY RECORDS SHOW THAT ALL SPECIFIED CHARACTERISTICS (MATERIAL, DIMENSIONS, SURFACE, ETC.) HAVE MET THE SPECIFICATIONS VALID AT THE TIME OF PRODUCTION. RECEIVED X-RAY CONFIRMS THE BONE FRACTURE. DESPITE DIFFERENT ROTATION CONDITIONS OF THE FEMUR A SIGNIFICANT SUBSIDENCE OF THE STEM CAN BE SEEN RADIOGRAPHICALLY DURING THE TIME IN-VIVO. IN THAT SENSE IT IS LIKELY THAT A WRONG SIZE WAS PREFERRED FOR THE STEM DURING PRIMARY IMPLANTATION SURGERY. THE CUP POSITION IS RELATIVELY STEEP, BUT NOT CHANGED IN THE COURSE. WHAT HAS FINALLY LED TO THE PERIPROSTHETIC FRACTURE CAN NOT BE RELIABLY ASSESSED ON THE BASIS OF THE AVAILABLE X-RAYS. THEREFORE, BASED ON THE AVAILABLE INFORMATION, AN EXACT ROOT CAUSE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE NEED FOR CORRECTIVE MEASURES IS NOT INDICATED AND ZIMMER GMBH CONSIDERS THIS CASE AS CLOSED. ZIMMER BIOMET¿S REFERENCE NUMBER OF THIS FILE IS (B)(4).
