Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported the patient was implanted with non-zimmer biomet products.The non-zimmer biomet products were revised for an unknown reason, and the patient was implanted with the arcos stem.The stem was undersized due to an iatrogenic error on the surgeon¿s behalf during the first revision.Eleven days post implantation the patient was revised due to the stem under sizing and dislocation that occurred due to the stem under sizing.There was no need to adjust the acetabular side as it remained stable.Due diligence is in progress for this complaint; to date no additional information or product has been received.
