Right tha was performed on (b)(6) 2007.The patient started going to the hospital several years ago due to pain of the surgery site.The doctor postponed the revision surgery because no osteolysis was detected while he found loosening of the cup.However, the patient complained of increased pain after she fell down, so on (b)(6) 2024, the revision surgery was performed to replace the devices (the cup, the insert, and the head) except the stem.When the doctor checked the removed devices, it was found that inner diameter of the removed head was 22mm, which was different from inner diameter of the removed insert, 26mm.The doctor requests the stryker to investigate wear location and wear depth of the insert because he suspects that the wear of the insert is one of the root cause of the cup loosening.
