Event or Problem Description
|
|
This pc reports about the event occurred in the second revision surgery on (b)(6) 2021.Loosening of implants occurred after the primary tha surgery and the first revision surgery was performed.After the first revision surgery, infection occurred, and the second revision surgery was performed on (b)(6) 2021.In the second revision surgery, the surgeon tried to disassemble the stem from the sleeve to remove them, but he couldn¿t.The surgeon unavoidably reamed the bone around the stem with a chisel and removed the stem and the sleeve integrated by using a slide hammer.Then, an implant (zimmer biomet¿s product) on the acetabular side was removed, and after careful cleaning, a cement spacer containing antibiotics was placed in the joint space.The second revision surgery was completed with 60 minutes delay.Because the stem and sleeve could not be separated at the time of removal, the damage to the femur increased.In the future, the third revision will be performed if possible while monitoring the patient's course.The surgeon wants us to identify the cause of the failure to separate the stem from the sleeve.No further information is available.
