|
It was reported that on (b)(6) 2016, the patient underwent the total hip arthroplasty with the stem and the liner for the osteoarthritis of the right hip joint.The surgery was completed successfully without any surgical delay.Two years after the surgery, although the stem started to sink, the patient did not complain of pain.The surgeon was following up the patient.In 2022, the patient complained of pain, and the stem was sunk and was retro-twisting.Therefore, the revision surgery was performed on (b)(6) 2022.The stem was loosened, and the liner was not locked to the cup.The part of the liner was floating.The stem was replaced with other company¿s stem, and the liner was replaced with a new liner.According to the surgeon, the stem seemed to be slightly small.The stem was collar-less, so that the surgeon commented that he should have chosen one size larger stem for fixation.The stem began to retro-twist with sinking.Since the liner was not broken and deformed, the liner was most likely not correctly locked at the primary surgery.No further information is available.
