Revision operative report of (b)(6) 2023: postoperative diagnosis: left total hip liner wear.Name of operation: revision left total hip femoral head and liner swap.Indications: the patient is a 75-year-old male status post left total hip arthroplasty experiencing premature liner wear.Previously, patient had had subluxation issues, also indicated for a femoral head replacement.Procedure: the pseudo capsule fibrous tissue was resected to expose the femoral head.Soft tissue was subsequently sent for culture.Once the femoral head was subluxed, retractors were placed around the acetabular cup.A 2.5 mm drill bit was drilled into the acetabular liner, followed by insertion of a 3.5 mm cortical screw, which dislocated and removed the acetabular cup.A new acetabular liner was then inserted and impacted into place and noted to be secure.Next, we then removed the femoral head, which was a -3.5 x 36 mm head.A biolox option head was then inserted, which was +3.5 x 36 mm reduced into place and noted to be stable through the full arc of motion without any dislocation of the hip.A sterile dressing was applied.Prognosis: patient is weightbearing as tolerated; follow up with x-rays in 2 weeks.There is no other information available.
