Event Description

Original case was done on the (b)(6) 2021 implant used was ref:-1363-56-000 lot j23m97 size 56mm modular cathcart fracture head hip ball.Slight delay as the consultant surgeon had to take his time reducing the hip.No adverse effects on the patient.

Event Description

Additional information received indicated that at surgery for a hemi arthroplasty of the left hip in an elderly patient, the trial was performed with a good reduction and good limb length alignment using a 56 head trial.The stem was cemented and a further trial performed with a 56 head trail- standard neck.This fitted well with a good reduction and good limb length alignment using a 56 head trial.The real metal 56 head was then placed on the neck but would not progress to be fully seated.Examination then revealed that the head was abutting on some prominent bony process of the greater trochanter.The metal head was removed and the trial tried again, and as it was of a different configuration (half a hemisphere) to the real head 3/4hemisohere) the trial fitted well with no abutment.At this point, a plus five trunnion was used and the trial placed and the hip reduced, with mild lengthening, but stable and with a good range of movements.The real 56 metal head was the placed on the plus 5 trunnion and this seated well with no abutment.The hip was then reduced and closed.The patient has made a good post-op recovery.It was then apparent that the trial and the real head did not compare in their spherical geometry¿trial was a true hemisphere and the real head almost a ¾ hemisphere.The real head was therefore unable to seat fully due to its geometry and the presence of a bony prominence of the greater trochanter.There was mild lengthening of the lower limb and about 20-minute surgical delay.Affected side was the left side.
