Event Description
|
Device report from synthes reports an event in (b)(6) as follows: it was reported a revision of a stem, right side, occurred due to the implant fracturing.The patient had a miss-step while walking which caused her to stumble.The implant then fractured.As a result of the stem fracturing, this caused the proximal femur to fracture.This distal part of the stem was extremely well fixed and was very difficult to remove.The proximal part of the stem and body was easy to remove as this part of the femur was fractured causing it to become loose.This patient has had a number of previous revisions.To my knowledge this is the history: primary cemented stem with cup.Lima, not depuy.They had a revision at (b)(6) hospital in (b)(6) 2020, no information.They then had a periprosthetic fracture where the lima stem was removed an the reclaim was implanted with a hook plate and cables (depuy) and a 40mm +5 ceramic head (depuy).(b)(6) 2020.They must have had another revision as some stage to remove our 40+5 ceramic head because when we did the revision there was no 40mm depuy head and in-situ, and there was a lima dual mobility head and liner with the lima cup already in-situ.I'm unsure when this occurred.It may have been linked to number 3.As above.The hook plate and cables were also removed at some stage too.This pc was linked to (b)(4) and was created to capture the ceramic head revision as stated in the event description.This is report 2 of 4 for (b)(4).This report is for a cable with crimp.
