Event Description
|
As reported via legal documentation the patient had a right hip replacement on (b)(6) 2015.Approximately 7 years and 11 months after the initial procedure the patient had a right hip revision on (b)(6) 2023.There is no other patient demographic or medical history available.There is no device return.There are no photos or other images of the device provided.No additional information is available.Revision op report on (b)(6) 2023.Diagnosis: failed right hip.Findings: very stable reconstruction.Cup was easy to remove only one small portion had bone in growth (10% of the cup surface).Severe soft tissue reaction to osteolysis of the cup liner with subsequent bone loss.Femoral stem was stable and well fixed - therefore did not revise.There was extensive soft tissue debris throughout the knee joint consistent with a synovitis from a polyethylene reaction to the tissues.This was tiny, small balls of light brown synovium along with a "pseudo-capsule" of dense soft tissue rind.I resected as much of this as safely possible.The total amount of soft tissue damage that required resection was ~6oz size.The polyethylene had excessive wear with signs of oxidation/yellow discoloration, pitting, cracking and delamination of the poly.Patient was sent to pacu in stable condition.

The most likely cause for the revision reported due to prosthesis wear is a combination of risk factors including, use error, implant positioning, implant size selection, and patient factors may have also been a contributing factor to the early prosthesis wear.However, this cannot be not confirmed with the information provided; devices were not returned.There is no other information available.These devices are used for treatment not diagnosis.
