It was reported that patient underwent a right hip revision approximately 7 years post implantation due to pain and elevated metal ion levels.During the procedure, altr was noted due to corrosion of the neck-stem taper.The shell was also noted as being malposition, but was left intact.All other components were removed and replaced.Attempts have been made and additional information on the reported event is unavailable at this time.

This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional information.Reported event was confirmed by review of medical records noting that during the revision procedure, corrosion was observed between the femoral neck and distal stem's taper.The head was not removed from the neck; therefore, the neck-head junction was not inspected.An extended osteotomy was performed to remove all femoral components and the neck and head were removed attached to each other.Altr and scar tissue were present in the joint.The acetabular component was in a very horizontal and overly anteverted position.This was compensated for by a polyethylene insert inside the acetabular component with a 20mm lip placed anterior and slightly inferior.This reduced the anteversion of the cup somewhat but was still very horizontal.The shell had a solid ingrowth and was securely fixed.The head, liner, stem, neck, and a bone screw were removed and new zimmer biomet products were implanted.No other complication/ significant findings were noted.Dhr was reviewed and no discrepancies were found.The additional information does not change the outcome of the previous investigation.If any further information is found which would change or alter any conclusions or information, a supplemental will be filed accordingly.Zimmer biomet will continue to monitor for trends.
