Event Description

During a total hip arthroplasty, after inserting the trial liner insert, a part of the trial liner insert broke off and remained within the patient¿s body.The patient was not harmed.Additional information as reported to israeli moh, it is as translated from the local hebrew form with additional information: during the operation, the surgeon positioned the cup component as acceptable and then made use of trial tools, which are multi-use tools (found in the hospital) designed to allow the surgeon to verify the suitability of the additional components (in terms of size and angle) before opening the sterile implants and implanting them.In this framework, trial liner was used, among other things.Upon completion of using the trial tool, the trial tool was unscrewed and the surgeon completed the operation with the sterile implants.In the imaging taken after the surgery was completed, a small horseshoe-shaped metallic component was observed near the left acetabulum (on the patient's body near the surgical area).From an examination carried out in the operating room, it was found that the aforementioned metal component apparently detached from the outer screwing area of the trial liner which was used during the operation without being noticed during the operation.According to the surgeon, no damage was caused to the patient and according to his clinical judgment there is no reason to perform another surgical intervention to remove the above-mentioned component.
