Event Description
|
Clinical records, from clinical visits on (b)(6) 2021 and on (b)(6) 2021, reported that the patient had a failed total hip with a protrusio cage pelvic construct, with the cage having fractured partially and migrated into the pelvic cavity.X-rays demonstrated this.The patient was experiencing only minor pain and discomfort, and some sciatica, despite this, and was ambulatory and capable of modified activities of daily living using appliances.The surgeon indicated that the progression of the cage's failure might have reached an endpoint, as the patient's trochanter was now impinging on the pelvic wing, preventing the femoral head from encroaching into the pelvis any further.As a consequence, the patient's leg was shortened.A ct scan had been ordered to be certain that the cage was not threatening any major pelvic blood vessels.The plan at present is to hold off on doing any surgical intervention, as this is considered a very high risk surgery due to the approach requiring involvement with intrapelvic tissues, vessels, and organs.
