It was reported that this patient had a left total hip.When the foam trunion protector was taken off the real femoral stem, it was brittle and crumbled into multiple pieces.It seemed to be dried out and almost dust-like when removed.The expiration on the stem was within 2 weeks, so one explanation was that it was dried out due to the long shelf life.It was also indicated that there was a surgical delay of ten (10) seconds.No adverse reactions as long as all the brittle foam pieces were found.No instrumentation broke.No further information is available.Doe: (b)(6) 2021.Affected side: left hip.
