As reported via legal documentation, a patient had left hip replacement on (b)(6)2009.On or around (b)(6)2023, radiology studies demonstrated polyethylene wear, bone loss and osteolysis, in the setting of recalled implants, leading to the recommendation for explantation, which is tentatively planned for the fall of 2023.The patient has additionally suffered bilateral hip osteolysis and bone loss and will, upon information and belief, require bilateral hip prostheses explantation in the near future.There is no other patient demographic or medical history available.There is no information on the surgical procedure or patient outcome.There is no device return.There are no photos or other images of the device provided.No additional information is available.

This follow-up report is being submitted to relay corrected information.The following sections were corrected: e1, e2, e3, g2, h6, h11.The reported event was unable to be confirmed due to limited information received from the customer.No device was returned for evaluation; further, photographs and/or radiograph images were not provided for review.Operative notes and/or medical records were not provided for review of usage/ technique.A review of complaint history determined that no further action is required as no trends were identified.A definitive root cause was unable to be determined; however, may have resulted from prosthesis wear, and osteolysis.The prothesis wear and osteolysis may have been due to a combination of risk factors specified in the hhe and being implanted for more than 10 years.Including but not limited to use error, implant positioning, and patient factors.However, this cannot be confirmed from the information provided and it is unclear if the patient has been revised at this time.
