Event or Problem Description
|
|
As reported via legal documentation the patient had a left hip replacement on (b)(6) 2014 due to painful end stage arthritis of left hip.Approximately 8 months after the initial procedure the patient had a left hip revision on (b)(6) 2015.Revision op report noted that the patient's total hip arthroplasty was complicated by a fracture of the femoral shaft which essentially healed in a malunion with subsidence of the stem and obvious loosening to the acetabulum.The surgeon noted that the stem was grossly unstable, however, they did not see any actual failure of the stem such as a fracture.There were multiple scuffs with the polyethylene, which was removed.Inspection of the patient's femur did not find any instability with palpation of the greater trochanter, nor any definite acute fracture lines.It was noted that the patient had a previous fracture which appeared to be healed on x-rays.However, there was widening in the metaphyseal region.The fracture had been low, almost exiting near the tip of the stem; it was just proximal to the tip of the stem.

Additional Manufacturer Narrative

After further review of additional information received the following sections g1, g3, g6, h1, h2, h3 and h6 have been updated accordingly.(h3): the revision reported was likely the result of an insufficient bond between the femoral stem and the bone, which led to aseptic (non-infected) femoral stem loosening.The loosening may have been related to the healed femur fracture reportedly observed by the surgeon.However, this cannot be confirmed as the device was not available for evaluation and no images or radiographs were provided.

This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional and/or corrected information.The following sections were updated: g3/g4, h6 the following sections were corrected: d4, h6 mdr section codes updated/corrected: a, e the most likely underlying cause for the revision reported is prosthesis wear, instability, subsidence, and femoral stem loosening and a combination of risk factors: such as use error, implant positioning, implant size selection, and patient factors (fitness for surgery, biomechanics, activity level and local tissue oxidation potential) ".However, this cannot be confirmed from the reported information and the devices were not available for evaluation.If any further information is obtained that would change or alter any information provided, a supplemental report will be filed accordingly.
