Event Description

After review of medical records patient was revised due to failed right hip arthroplasty, continued to have swelling and pain.Operative notes indicated fibrinous tissue with a present anterior to the abductors to the fascia.There was significant trunionosis and stem had slight retroversion.The previous stem was then systematically and carefully removed by using a taper breaker, a high-speed bur and a extraction device.There was significant bone between the shoulder of the implant in the greater trochanter, this was removed with care taken to maintain continuity of the trochanter.There was wear on the backside of the liner.Revision due to metallosis and hypersensitivity.It is reasonable to conclude the metallosis and hypersensitivity is a result of the interaction between the articulating surfaces and femoral head - stem trunnion micromotion and therefore the metal femoral head, metal acetabular liner, and femoral stem have been reported for contributing to the serious injuries.The femoral sleeve/acetabular cup does not articulate with another metal surface and it would be reasonable to assume it is not involved in the reported metallosis and hypersensitivity.
