Event Description

It was reported that during revision surgery, the surgeon noticed that there was a considerable amount of impingement, and he could not use the liner that he was planning to the implant (64mm tripolar liner).Therefore, he decided to change to a more traditional liner (offset liner).

Manufacturer Narrative

The devices, used in treatment, were not returned for evaluation, the reported event could not be confirmed.The clnical/medical team concluded, the significant complexity due to ¿previous surgery and deformity¿ could have contributed to the intra-op anterior impingement of the r3 liner and subsequent unsuccessful implantation(b)(4); however this could not be definitively concluded.The patient impact beyond a possible minor surgical delay during which the constrained liner was trialed and exchanged for a lateralized liner could not be determined as no delay was reported.Should clinical documentation become available in the future, the clinical/medical task may be re-evaluated.No further medical assessment could be rendered at this time.A review of the manufacturing records did not reveal a manufacturing abnormality that could have caused or contributed to the reported incident.At this time, we have no reason to suspect that the products failed to meet any product specifications at the time of manufacture.A complaint history review found related failures; this failure mode will be monitored for future complaints for any necessary corrective actions.Damage from prolonged use, misuse or rough handling are likely probable causes of the reported event.We recommend that all reusable instruments be routinely inspected for wear and damage and replaced as necessary.This device is a reusable instrument that can be exposed to numerous surgeries; damage from repeated use can occur.
