Event or Problem Description
It was reported that the insert did not fit inside the cup, although multiple attempts.As a result, the cup sunk into the acetabulum.The cup has been removed and reinserted after acetabulum reinforcement by the means of screws.A new high-wall insert has been repositioned without success.A third attempt was done by inserting a standard insert, without success.The surgeon decided to definitely remove the cup and to bore the acetabulum to obtain a more equatorial grip.A new high-wall insert has been positioned but it did not fit inside the new cup.In the end, a standard insert has been successfully inserted inside the cup.No adverse events were reported.Attempts have been made and additional information on the reported event is unavailable at this time.
Event or Problem Description
No further event information available at the time of this report.
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Visual and dimensional evaluations could not be performed as no pictures were provided or product returned.Device history record was reviewed and no discrepancies relevant to the reported event were found.A definitive root cause cannot be determined for items 010000661 (48c shell) and 010000925 (32c liner), 010000847 (32c liner), not seating.The root cause of item 010000661 (48c shell) and 010000936 (36f liner) not seating is directly related to these components not being compatible per the g7 acetabular system surgical technique.Additionally, it is stated in the technique that the color on the liner label should match the color anodized on the rim of the acetabular shell.If any further information is found which would change or alter any conclusions or information, a supplemental will be filed accordingly.Zimmer biomet will continue to monitor for trends.
