Post operative images revealed a bone crack that is believed to have occurred on (b)(6)2019 during cementless bipolar hemiarthroplasty possibly when the stem was inserted.A subsequent surgery was performed and the surgeon applied cable to the fracture as well as bone cement in conjunction with a 10mm cement restrictor.Post operative images showed anterior twist so another surgery was performed and the stem was removed and replaced with a stem made by another company.The cement restrictor was left in the patient.The original femoral stem and the 10mm bone restrictor were manufactured by this company.The cable, cement, and second stem were manufactured by another company.This mdr report is the second of two being submitted for this incident and addresses the 10mm cement restrictor.
