It was reported that the patient's right hip was revised due to pain and metallosis.Intraoperatively, trunnionosis and "disoloration" of the liner were observed.A stryker shell, head, and liner were revised to a stryker ceramic head, shell, and liner.Update january 8, 2019: as per clinical consultant, "the 'discoloration' as noted in the photo is normal from extended exposure to synovial fluid and does not represent either pathology or faulty manufacturing or material factors.".
