This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional information.No product was returned or pictures provided; visual and dimensional evaluations could not be performed.Medical records were provided and reviewed by a health care professional.Review of the available records identified the following: the patient experienced recurrent dislocations.It was believed the original femoral component was cemented too proud.The previous stem had no anteversion and 3-4 degrees of retroversion.While within the joint a large hematoma and necrotic tissue was encountered.A new head and stem were implanted.Review of the device history records identified no deviations or anomalies during manufacturing related to the reported event.It was mentioned that the surgeon thought the original femoral component was cemented too proud and the patient's hip joint too tight, leading to a dislocation, but this cannot be confirmed.Therefore, a definitive root cause cannot be determined.If any further information is found which would change or alter any conclusions or information, a supplemental will be filed accordingly.Zimmer biomet will continue to monitor for trends.
