It was reported that the patient was diagnosed as having poly wear and osteolysis around the cup.The surgeon said the patient had their hip done roughly 20+ years prior.He was unsure of the exact date.He told me that it was done at (b)(6) by dr.(b)(6).The surgeon decided the patient would benefit from a revision of their acetabular components.The stem was an srom, and the surgeon removed it in order to gain better exposure to the acetabulum.Once the femoral head and stem were removed, dr.(b)(6)removed the cup, which ended up being a competitor acetabular component.The liner was in fact pretty worn out and needed to be revised.Original implant date 2000.(b)(4).This report reflects information received by fda in the form of a notification per 803.22 (b)(2).
