Event Description

The patient was revised to address osteolysis, stiffness, limited mobility, adl, and anxiety.Head and liner were exchanged and femoral bone allographs were performed.The operative note reported metallosis with synovitis.There was evidence of corrosion at the trunnion stem and liner cup interface.Large osteolytic defect in the right femur greater trochanter.Osteolysis around the acetabular component.There was evidence of trunnionosis with black grey corrosion in the head.Scar tissues were excised.Clinical visit reported mild tenderness over the greater trochanter, and mild nonspecific synovial expansion more evident on the right side.There are hypointense foci likely related to metal debris and osteolysis in the proximal femur, metallosis, adverse local tissue reaction, and elevated metal ions.However, the lab result is below 7 ppb.

Event Description

Medical records received.In addition to what was previously reported in the medical records the patient was revised to address depression, walking difficulty and metallosis.Clinical visit reported persistent focus of ossification of the right greater trochanter.Surgical pathology reported tissue reaction to particulate implant material and in the soft tissue metallic particulate debris and corrosion products.Although there is abundant corrosion product and metallic pigment with synovial tissue, there is not a significant alval indicative of an immunogenic reaction.Femoral head shows circular abrasive wear.Microscopic description demonstrate interface synovial like tissue showing dense and diffuse sub synovial fibrosis and are foci of reactive appearing synovial hyperplasia.Mri hips shows pseudotumor, elevated metal ions, lateral pain and bursitis.
