Reported event: an event regarding malposition and loosening involving a trident shell was reported.The event of malposition was confirmed.Loosening was not confirmed.Method & results: -product evaluation and results: visual inspection, dimensional, functional and material analysis could not be performed as the device was not returned.-clinician review: a review of medical records with a clinical consultant indicated " this patient underwent a primary right total hip arthroplasty at some point in the past.The patient developed a loosening of the acetabular component which necessitated revision surgery of the cup, and replacement of the femoral head component.I can confirm that the patient developed a problem with the right total hip as i was able to see the x-ray with the cup completely vertical.Loosening cannot be determined based on the x-ray provided.I cannot confirm that the revision took place since i have no documentation except the date of explantation as provided in the product inquiry summary.I have no surgeon notes or operation reports.The root causes of acetabular loosening are multifactorial and dependent on when the loosening occurs.These factors include surgical technique factors, and patient factors including bmi and activity level.If loosening occurs in the early postoperative period, then surgical technique factors would most likely be a likely cause.I would not assign any causality to the implant based on information reviewed [.]" -product history review: could not be performed as the device lot details were not provided.-complaint history review: could not be performed as the device lot details were not provided.Conclusions: it was reported that the patient was revised due to shell loosening.A review of medical records with a clinical consultant indicated " this patient underwent a primary right total hip arthroplasty at some point in the past.The patient developed a loosening of the acetabular component which necessitated revision surgery of the cup, and replacement of the femoral head component.I can confirm that the patient developed a problem with the right total hip as i was able to see the x-ray with the cup completely vertical.Loosening cannot be determined based on the x-ray provided.I cannot confirm that the revision took place since i have no documentation except the date of explantation as provided in the product inquiry summary.I have no surgeon notes or operation reports.The root causes of acetabular loosening are multifactorial and dependent on when the loosening occurs.These factors include surgical technique factors, and patient factors including bmi and activity level.If loosening occurs in the early postoperative period, then surgical technique factors would most likely be a likely cause.I would not assign any causality to the implant based on information reviewed.The explanted components should be submitted to stryker engineers for examination and analysis." malposition was confirmed but from the given information, it could not be determined whether it was initially implanted in that position or loosened and thus moved to a vertical position.No further investigation for this event is possible at this time.If devices and/or additional information become available to indicate further evaluation is warranted, this record will be reopened.
