Reported event: an event regarding dislocation involving a trident liner was reported.The event was confirmed via clinician review of the provided medical records.Method & results: -device evaluation and results: visual, dimensional, functional and material analysis could not be performed as the device was not returned.-clinician review: a review of the provided medical information by a clinical consultant indicated: "this patient had multiple procedures all related to instability.Initially a primary trident liner was utilized, it was then revised to and mdm.The patient then approximately two years later required a revision where the mdm liner was replaced with a constrained insert.That constrained insert dislocated requiring another procedure.Causes of dislocation of a primary total hip are multifactorial but in most cases is surgical technique related possibly due to malposition of implants and failure to restore soft tissue tension.Later dislocation can be due to factors such as trauma and stretching out of the soft tissue envelope around the hip.Causes of dislocation of a constrained liner immediately after surgery may also be surgical technique related in that the liner may not have been properly seated.Another cause could be trauma but none was reported in this case.Regarding the event, i can confirm that a dislocation of the constrained liner occurred since i was able to see an xray showing the dislocation.I have no way to confirm any other event since i have no supporting documentation or x-rays.Regarding the root cause of the event, i believe it is likely that surgical technique played a significant role and for the late dislocation, most likely the soft tissues stretched allowing increased laxity in the joint." -device history review: review of the product history records indicate devices were manufactured and accepted into final stock with no reported relevant discrepancies.-complaint history review: there has been no other event for the lot referenced.Conclusion: the event of dislocation was confirmed via clinician review of the provided medical records which indicated: this patient had multiple procedures all related to instability.Initially a primary trident liner was utilized, it was then revised to and mdm.The patient then approximately two years later required a revision where the mdm liner was replaced with a constrained insert.That constrained insert dislocated requiring another procedure.Causes of dislocation of a primary total hip are multifactorial but in most cases is surgical technique related possibly due to malposition of implants and failure to restore soft tissue tension.Later dislocation can be due to factors such as trauma and stretching out of the soft tissue envelope around the hip.Causes of dislocation of a constrained liner immediately after surgery may also be surgical technique related in that the liner may not have been properly seated.Another cause could be trauma but none was reported in this case.Regarding the event, i can confirm that a dislocation of the constrained liner occurred since i was able to see an xray showing the dislocation.I have no way to confirm any other event since i have no supporting documentation or x-rays."regarding the root cause of the event, i believe it is likely that surgical technique played a significant role and for the late dislocation, most likely the soft tissues stretched allowing increased laxity in the joint." no further investigation for this event is possible at this time.If additional information become available to indicate further evaluation is warranted, this record will be reopened.
