It was reported that the patient had a left asr hip performed back on (b)(6) 2009.The orthopedic surgeon that was performing the revision did not tell me much about this patient.From speaking with the pa, he said the patient was not complaining of pain so much, but more from a clunking noise and impingement feeling.From what i understood the patient was not worked up for blood ion levels, etc.If he was, i wasn't aware of the results.Both the surgeon and pa both were talking about this revision from the noise/impingement.Once the surgeon opened the patient up, he did say that he saw some signs of metal/dark tissue.After he knocked off the asr head, he showed me the dark tissue and metallosis he said was around the trilock stem trunnion.He said that the surrounding tissue was in good shape.He looked over the asr head and cup for large abrasions that he thought may have been creating that sound/ impingement, however there were no marks anywhere.He removed the cup using the zimmer explant system.He then reamed the acetabulum and implanted a 58 pinnacle multi-hole cup.He put in 4 screws and a 40x58 +4/10 degree liner.He left the trilock stem in place.We trialed with a 40 +1.5 head and implanted that head size in a ceramic ts head.He was happy with the stability and leg lengths.Doi: (b)(6) 2009.Dor: (b)(6) 2019, left hip.
