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 remains implanted.-clinician review: a review of the provided medical information by a clinical consultant indicated: "this patient underwent a primary total hip replacement in 2012 and then five years later sustained a dislocation.Approximately four years after that the patient sustained another dislocation.Both dislocations were reduced without consequence and the patient is now functioning well.I can confirm that the dislocations occurred since i was able to see office notes documenting the occurrences.The root cause of these events cannot be determined with certainty.Causes of dislocation five years and nine years after surgery are multifactorial.These include surgical technique factors such as proper soft tissue closure and restoration of soft tissue tension in the thigh.Patient had equal leg lengths.We do not have any information about the surgical approach to use but the fact that the dislocation occurred when the patient was in deep flexion it is possible that a posterior approach was used and the dislocation was posterior.It is possible that after several years the soft tissues can stretch allowing dislocation.It is also possible that polyethylene wear can contribute but there was no mention of any abnormality on the x-ray.Patient factors also come into play including activity level and bmi as well as movements which exceed the limits of reduction.Positional this location is not uncommon, especially with deep flexion and internal rotation.Implant factors would only come into play if there was significant polyethylene wear, or change in position of the implants.There is no evidence for these circumstances.I would not assign any causality to the implants itself." -product history review: review of the device history records indicate devices were manufactured and accepted into final stock with no relevant reported discrepancies.-complaint history review: there has been 1 other similar event for the lot referenced which relates to dislocation for the same device/patient; therefore, no further trending is required for this commonality.Conclusions: it was reported that the patient underwent a medical intervention to address dislocation of the head from the liner.It was not reported that any devices were explanted during this procedure.A review of the provided medical information by a clinical consultant indicated: "this patient underwent a primary total hip replacement in 2012 and then five years later sustained a dislocation.Approximately four years after that the patient sustained another dislocation.Both dislocations were reduced without consequence and the patient is now functioning well.I can confirm that the dislocations occurred since i was able to see office notes documenting the occurrences.The root cause of these events cannot be determined with certainty.Causes of dislocation five years and nine years after surgery are multifactorial.These include surgical technique factors such as proper soft tissue closure and restoration of soft tissue tension in the thigh.Patient had equal leg lengths.We do not have any information about the surgical approach to use but the fact that the dislocation occurred when the patient was in deep flexion it is possible that a posterior approach was used and the dislocation was posterior.It is possible that after several years the soft tissues can stretch allowing dislocation.It is also possible that polyethylene wear can contribute but there was no mention of any abnormality on the x-ray.Patient factors also come into play including activity level and bmi as well as movements which exceed the limits of reduction.Positional this location is not uncommon, especially with deep flexion and internal rotation.Implant factors would only come into play if there was significant polyethylene wear, or change in position of the implants.There is no evidence for these circumstances.I would not assign any causality to the implants itself." 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.
