Event or Problem Description
|
|
The patient underwent a revision surgery on (b)(6) 2020 due to a fractured femoral guardian segmental stem which occured when the patient fell.This caused the stem to migrate out of position.The surgeon replaced the stem extension with an eleos stem extension.The surgeon found a deformity to the femur that made it difficult to place the implant.Post-operative x-rays were taken and the surgeon decided to bring the patient back to remove the damaged bone.On (b)(6) 2020, the surgeon resected the damaged part of the femur and added a midsection implant to replace the length.He also replaced the eleos stem extension with a new eleos stem extension.However, there was no failure of the eleos stem extension.

Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The previous report is being amended due to new information from the complainant.The eleos component placed on (b)(6) 2020 was not the implant that was fractured after the patient fell.This was a guardian implant placed on (b)(6) 2018.The eleos stem extension was replaced on (b)(6) 2020 when the surgeon went into remove damaged bone that was found during the guardian revision on (b)(6) 2020.There was no failure of the eleos component but it was replaced due to being explanted for the surgeon to resect more femoral bone.A review of the manufacturing dhr did not find any issues with manufacturing that could have contributed to this complaint.
