Event Description

Patient received a total hip for fracture on (b)(6) 2018 at (b)(6) hospital.Patient presented in (b)(6) er on monday, (b)(6) with a dislocated hip and dr performed a closed reduction.Dr.Elected to constrain the same hip the next day due to what he expected was deficient adductors.On tuesday, (b)(6) dr performed revision surgery on the patient.Dr removed the index acetabular liner and femoral head.Dr.Then asked for a pinnacle constrained 48/28 +4 10 deg liner to be opened and a articuleze 28mm +8.5 cocr femoral head to be opened as well for implantation.Dr implanted the constrained liner without incident.He then impacted the femoral head onto the native stem.Upon reduction, dr struggled to reduce the hip and was unsuccessful.Dr removed the 28mm +8.5 cocr head and had a 28 +5mm cocr head opened and impacted it on the femoral stem.Dr tried to reduce that construct and found that he had broken one of the tabs on the previously implanted constrained liner when he had tried to reduce the 28 +8.5mm femoral head and that it would not accept the 28 +5mm femoral head.Dr then elected to remove the constrained liner and replace it with another constrained liner (pinnacle 48/28 +4 neutral liner).Dr successfully implanted the second constrained liner.He then put the 28mm +8.5 femoral head back on the stem and reduced the construct.Dr did not consider any of the products to be deficient.Time was extended an hour as he removed the first constrained liner.All pieces were retrieved.
