Manufacturer Narrative

Section h10: (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.Based on the available information, the patient involved meets the following risk criteria for early prosthesis wear/osteolysis as specified in the hhe: implanted with a lateralized liner.The revision reported was likely the result of a combination of both patient-related conditions and the risk factors specified in an hhe including but not limited to use error, implant positioning, implant size selection, and patient factors, which led to polyethylene wear.However, this cannot be confirmed as the devices were not available for evaluation, and images and radiographs were not provided at the time of this evaluation.Section h11: *the following sections have corrected information: (d1) brand name: nv gxl lnr, +5lat, 32mm g2-52/54mm cups.(d10) concomitant device(s): (b)(6), 180-01-54 - crown cup,cluster-hole gr.54.(h6) medical device problem code: 2988.

Event Description

It was reported that this 62 y/o female patient's left hip was revised approximately 5 years post op.As part of the follow-up care after hip prosthesis implantation on the left, inlay wear was observed in an asymmetrical manner.Head position diagnosed by the resident colleagues.The patient presented herself with the x-rays control.The x-ray control showed a clear decentering of the prosthetic head and unusually large osteolysis in the acetabulum and greater trochanter as a sign of premature inlay wear.This was possible when the inlay was changed on (b)(6), 2024 to a specially approved vitd-hardened one.Inlay (novation xle +5mm, lateralized liner, group 2, 36 mm i.D., ref 146-36-52, sn (b)(6)) can be verified.As part of the replacement operation, in addition to the inlay replacement, the solid cup integrity was determined as well as the curettage and filling of the cysts in the socket and in the greater trochanter using allogeneic cancellous bone and changing the prosthetic head.
