Event Description
|
It was reported that the patient underwent a hip arthroplasty.Subsequently, the patient was revised twelve days post op due to dislocation.Per sales rep, the version of the acetabular cup was too anteverted and the origination of the highwall liner was causing leverage making the femoral head dislocate anteriorly.Surgeon believes the origination of the cup was fine and that it was due to a non-compliant patient.The patient had a shuffle gait and did not want to follow post operative protocol, per surgeon.The stem, head, and liner were exchanged.No allegations against the stem as it was removed because the surgeon knocked the femoral head hard dislodging the stem.
