Event Description
|
It was reported that a patient underwent a revision approximately 8 years post implantation due to allegations of soft tissue reaction surrounding the hip, discolored fluid, and chunky irregular scar tissue causing crepitus with range of motion which necessitated a full synovectomy and vacuuming of a large amount of fluid.The surgeon also noted metallic debris around the trunnion and the femoral head-neck junction.The head and taper adapter were revised.Attempts have been made and no further information has been provided.
