It was reported that during a revision of the patient's left hip, a constrained liner was impacted with the constrained liner impactor.In flexion and external rotation of approximately 60°, the inner bipolar component dissociated from the outer liner.The constrained liner components and femoral head were removed, and a 10° constrained liner was implanted with another femoral head.Cause or contributor for dissociation were unknown (implant had a locking ring, there were no unusual anatomy factors, protocol was followed).Surgery was completed successfully with a delay of approximately 15-20 minutes.
