Manufacturer Narrative
|
Reported event was confirmed by review of medical records received.Review of the available records identified that after a complicated course post left total hip arthroplasty, the patient underwent implantation of a zb antibiotic spacer.During the hospital stay, the patient experienced outward rotation and lengthening of the left leg.The patient underwent closed reduction under anesthesia due to subluxation of the cement spacer.The hip was reduced and the patient discharged without further complication.It can be concluded that this was a full dislocation based upon the leg lengthening and external rotation that occurred which would have to happen outside of the cup (dislocation) rather than contained within the cup space (subluxation).Additionally, a subluxation is resolved by subtle motion and would likely not require sedation as a closed reduction for dislocation would.Dhr was reviewed and no discrepancies relevant to the reported event were found.Root cause was unable to be determined.If any further information is found which would change or alter any conclusions or information, a supplemental report will be filed accordingly.Zimmer biomet will continue to monitor for trends.
