Event Description
|
As reported via legal documentation, a patient had left hip replacement on (b)(6)2009.On or around (b)(6)2023, radiology studies demonstrated polyethylene wear, bone loss and osteolysis, in the setting of recalled implants, leading to the recommendation for explantation, which is tentatively planned for the fall of 2023.The patient has additionally suffered bilateral hip osteolysis and bone loss and will, upon information and belief, require bilateral hip prostheses explantation in the near future.There is no other patient demographic or medical history available.There is no information on the surgical procedure or patient outcome.There is no device return.There are no photos or other images of the device provided.No additional information is available.
