Event Description

It was reported that a cemented 54mm, competitor acetabular cup was implanted.A -6mm dm liner (48mm) was opened, only to discover it was too large.The patient had pain and suspected infection, and a stage 1 prostalac was performed.The zimmer biomet liner was placed in the cup regardless because it was a prostalac total hip arthroplasty and will need revision.The surgeon was satisfied with tighter mobility.It was reported that the liner was believed to either be mislabeled or the improper liner type was provided in the loaner kit.It might be due to it being a zimmer biomet bearing and not a competitor bearing.Regarding delay of surgery, there was some time to evaluate options, but not enough to be measured.It was reported that the patient had old worn-out implants from an old surgery.The worn-out implants were from an unspecified company but were not zimmer biomet implants.There was no reported harm or injury to the patient.No additional information is available.

Event Description
