The manufacturer, mathys ltd bettlach, received reports of disconnection of affinis inverse inlay ceramys and affinis fracture ceramic heads. subsequent investigations have identified that the inlay and individual implant components complied with the defined specifications.For affinis fracture ceramic heads:the disconnections may have resulted from inadequate primary fixation due to insufficient head-cone connection or by protruding bone residue, cement residue or soft tissue fragments inside the cone connection.For affinis inverse inlay ceramys: the disconnection incident was caused by insufficient fixation of the inlay on the cone due to lack of impaction. the affinis inverse inlay ceramys has not been supplied in australia.To minimise occurrences of disconnection, additional instructions and notes regarding ceramic inlay implantation and ceramic head implantation have been added to the surgical technique and the instructions for use (ifu).
