Event or Problem Description

On (b)(6) 2021, the patient had a right total hip arthroplasty to address osteoarthritis, end-stage.Depuy components, including 2 screws were used during the procedure.During the procedure the surgeon reported having some fragmentation of the trochanter.The surgeon felt that the hip was stable, but because of the fragmentation, the patient will avoid active abduction postoperatively.On (b)(6) 2021 patient is experiencing thigh pain and limp status post right anterior hip replacement with small greater trochanter fracture intraoperatively.No invasive treatment.It should be noted that this is only 14 days after implanting of the hip, and pain and limping are an expected event in that time range.
