It was reported that, as part of an unspecified femoral shaft fixation, a patient underwent a thr revision surgery on (b)(6) 2017 on the right hip.During this procedure, a redapt slvls mono stem 300mm sz 15 ho was implanted.After this procedure, that patient experienced instability episodes, discomfort, heterotrophic ossification and loss of fixation of periprosthetic fracture, which led to multiple closed reductions to treat this adverse event.Additional details about the implanted prosthesis before the revision surgery was performed are not available.As the data collection has been done retrospectively and is anonymized, further details on the patient's final outcome are unknown.
