An event regarding dislocation involving a trident liner was reported.The event was confirmed via clinician review of the provided medical records.Method & results: product evaluation and results: material analysis, visual, functional and dimensional inspections could not be performed as the device was not returned.Clinician review: a review of the provided medical information by a clinical consultant indicated: "conclusion/assessment: there was a revision surgery performed for acetabular loosening and bone loss with a pelvic discontinuity.The reconstruction was performed with a gap cup and the stem retained.There were subsequent dislocations and eventual failure of the reconstruction cage with dislocation and metallic implant fracture (by description).The hip was re-revised to a triflange construct and new modular stem.No radiographs were provided for review.Event confirmation: failure of a gap cup reconstruction can be confirmed.Root cause: the root cause was trauma combined instability and pelvic discontinuity." product history review: could not be performed as the device lot details were not provided.Complaint history review: could not be performed as the device lot details were not provided.Conclusions: it was reported that the patient was revised due to dislocation, pelvic discontinuity, and "acetabular failure." a review of the provided medical information by a clinical consultant indicated: "conclusion/assessment: there was a revision surgery performed for acetabular loosening and bone loss with a pelvic discontinuity.The reconstruction was performed with a gap cup and the stem retained.There were subsequent dislocations and eventual failure of the reconstruction cage with dislocation and metallic implant fracture (by description).The hip was re-revised to a triflange construct and new modular stem.No radiographs were provided for review.Event confirmation: failure of a gap cup reconstruction can be confirmed.Root cause: the root cause was trauma combined instability and pelvic discontinuity." no further investigation for this event is possible at this time.If devices and/or additional information become available to indicate further evaluation is warranted, this record will be reopened.
