Event Description
|
During the surgery, performed posteriorly, the surgeon used a trial cup and decided on a 60 mpact cup.He was happy it was secure.He then used a trial liner and continued onto the femur.He trialled with a size 3 stem and 36mm head and was happy with his offset.The surgeon then implanted the definitive liner (36g) and the stem.He trialled one more time with the 36mm head and when he dislocated he realised the cup was loose.He wasn't sure why it was loose.He trialled a cup again but it wouldn't sit well.He was then forced to ream up to a 62 and then the trial 62 fit better.He then asked to open a 62 cup and 36g hooded liner which were implanted successfully.The surgeon was unsure of why it didn't stay implanted and couldn't see anything wrong within the patient.He used 2 screws (25mm, 20mm) in the new cup as extra security.
