Rep left a voicemail reporting that the patient's right hip was revised.An omnifit stem, 32mm head, and a 'cup' were revised to a restoration modular stem construct, a femoral head, and a 'cemented cup'.Update 12/march/2021 wg: spoke to rep.Patient was revised due to pain and apparent osteolysis around the shell, intra-operatively, the liner was observed to be worn through nearly to the inside of the shell, and deformed.Upon removing the shell, the patient's acetabulum was noted to be black.The entire construct was revised including a cemented shell.The rep provided an intra-operative picture and a picture of the explants and confirmed that no further information will be released by the hospital or surgeon.
