As reported, approximately one month post initial left tha, this 57 y/o male patient had a periprosthetic hip fracture.It is unknown how it happened.Patient was revised to an alteon monobloc stem and biolox delta head were implanted.There was no breakage of devices or surgical delay/prolongation.Patient was last known to be in stable condition following the event.Sales rep was unable to obtain photos/x-rays.The device is not available for evaluation.Upon review of the available information, there is no evidence that this is a device related problem and there is no allegation against the device.Implantation of a total joint could result pain, fracture, infection, or loosening of total joint hardware.The most likely cause of the reported event was a malunion of a fracture which was likely caused by over-reaming during implantation.
