'the two revision surgeries can be confirmed.For the first surgery, a pseudo tumor was confirmed at the time of surgery and attributed to trunnionosis.Increased metal levels and mri imaging of pseudotumor could not be confirmed.The patient¿s symptoms of pain could not be confirmed.A hematoma and drainage thereof could not be confirmed.The surgical plan as outlined in the pi report could not be confirmed.At the time of revision surgery infection was noted and a cement spacer placed (the femur was not removed).Confirmation of infection via laboratory results could not be confirmed.' 'the root cause of the first revision appeared to be pseudotumor and trunnionosis.The root cause of the pseudotumor and trunnionosis cannot be confirmed.The root cause of the second revision was stated as infection, although the infection cannot be confirmed.' infection is a known possible adverse outcome of surgery, as noted in the instructions for use.All stryker products sold as sterile are validated to a minimum sterility assurance level (sal) of 10^-6 in accordance with applicable iso standards.When the sterile barrier of any device is opened, the sterility of that device becomes a function of handling and surgical technique and is beyond stryker¿s control.Infection due to bacterial contamination, as supplied from the manufacturer, is an extremely rare event.No further investigation for this event is possible at this time as no devices and/ or insufficient information was received by stryker orthopaedics.If devices and / or additional information become available to indicate further evaluation is warranted, this record will be reopened.
