Event Description
|
As reported, approximately 8 years post op initial right tha, this male patient was revised.The patient presented for a check-up of the hip prosthesis that was implanted on the right side in 2015.X-ray control showed a clear decentering of the prosthesis head as a sign of inlay wear.The ct also showed a small osteolysis in the acetabulum.This was verified when the inlay was changed on (b)(6), 2023 to a vitd-hardened, specially approved inlay.As part of the replacement operation, in addition to the inlay replacement, the solid integrity of the socket was determined as well as the curettage of the small cyst in the socket and the replacement of the prosthetic head.

Manufacturer Narrative

H3: a number of variables including use error, implant positioning, implant size selection, and patient factors (fitness for surgery, biomechanics, activity level and local tissue oxidation potential) could have all contributed to the increased trend in wear/osteolysis related complaints.The most likely cause for the revision reported due to early prosthesis wear and osteolysis is a combination of the risk factors specified in the hhe.However, this cannot be confirmed from the reported information.
