Event Description
|
It was reported that an approximately 67 yo male patient, initial hip implanted on (b)(6) 2019, underwent a revision procedure on (b)(6) 2024, approximately 4 years 1 month post the initial procedure.As part of the manufacturer's recall campaign, the patient came in to have the right hip prosthesis that was implanted in 2019 checked.X-ray control showed a clear decentering of the prosthesis head and unusually large osteolysis in the acetabulum as signs of inlay wear.This was verified when the inlay was changed on (b)(6) 2024, to a vitd-hardened, specially approved inlay (novation xle, neutral liner, group 2, 36 mm i.D., ref (b)(4), sn (b)(6).As part of the replacement operation, in addition to the inlay replacement, the firm socket integrity was determined as well as the curettage and sealing of the cysts in the socket using allogeneic cancellous bone and the replacement of the prosthetic head.Diagnosis that led to the implantation: primary coxarthrosis m16.1 implanting clinic: bwkrhs westerstede item data for the implantation and replacement, as well as photos of the explants, will be submitted after receipt of a confirmation of receipt with bfarm case number.The explants are currently in the (b)(6) for microbiological examination using sonication.After the examination has been completed (14 days of long-term incubation), these are sent back to us and then - provided the patient has given their consent - made available to the manufacturer upon request for further material-technical examination.Surgical reports/x-rays are also available upon request.No further information.

Manufacturer Narrative
|
H3: the most likely cause for the revision reported due to early prosthesis wear is a combination of the risk factors specified, "including use error, implant positioning, implant size selection, and patient factors (fitness for surgery, biomechanics, activity level and local tissue oxidation potential)".However, prosthesis wear cannot be confirmed as neither radiographs nor the devices were available for evaluation.
