174 medical device reports received by FDA name the brand "Unknown Right Hip" (implant); the manufacturer given most often on reports is Stryker Orthopaedics Mahwah; received from July 2012 to December 2023. Brand names are as the reporter or manufacturer wrote them, so one product can appear under several spellings.
0 reports arrived in the 12 months to August 2026, and none in the 12 months before. FDA releases MAUDE data monthly; reports can arrive months after an event, so the newest months grow in later releases. The event types recorded are injury (100%); across all prosthesis, hip, semi-constrained, metal/polymer, cemented reports (product code JDI) death is recorded in 0.4% and malfunction in 7.8%. Event type is the reporter's classification of the report, not a verified outcome.
The device problems coded most often are insufficient device problem information (55.7%), device operates differently than expected (19%) and nonstandard device (4.6%). The patient problems coded most often are pain, ambulation or postural difficulties and swelling. FDA states that "MDR data alone cannot be used to establish rates of events, evaluate a change in event rates over time or compare event rates between devices. The number of reports cannot be interpreted or used in isolation to reach conclusions about the existence, severity, or frequency of problems associated with devices." It adds that the reporting system "has limitations, including the potential submission of incomplete, inaccurate, untimely, unverified, or biased data."
