Event Description

The patient had an orif right periprosthetic femur fracture, revision femoral component.The indication for surgery included: patient fell off ladder and had a periprosthtic femur fracture.An attempt to fix this approximately 48 hours ago, but upon induction of anesthesia, the patient had a significant cardiac event with hypertension that required resuscitation.The procedure had not started.Patient is now stabilized and was brought back to operating room to fix the fracture.It was noted that patient was already intubated and on a ventilator from icu (from the earlier cardiac issue that started during anesthesia previously).During the procedure the surgeon observed a long spiral fracture.Femoral stem appeared well fixed.The femoral head was replaced for a longer head for stability, due to the fracture.Synthese wires struts were used.

Manufacturer Narrative

Product complaint # : (b)(4).Additional information received indicates "patient sustained the periprosthetic fracture due to a fall off a ladder.This event is considered to be a trauma related incident (falling off ladder) and not a device related incident." it is reasonable to conclude that the device reported on this medwatch would not cause or contribute to the reported serious injury/revision as the revision is the consequence of trauma force.At this time depuy synthes joint reconstruction considers the device on this report to be not reportable.
