Event or Problem Description
|
|
Patient had primary collarless corail implanted with delta motion cup.Reason for revision was due to loosening causing pain for the patient.X-rays show radiolucent lines around the corail stem with thickening of the cortices close to the tip of the stem, evidence of windscreen wiper effect.On discussion with [surgeon], this was one of his early cases where he used corail and believes to was too small and this may have contributed to the subsidence.Worth noting that the diaphysis was quite narrow and when he was an early user may have unknowingly undersized the stem at the time due to being "hung up" distally.Size 10 stem was removed and size 13 standard corail revision stem replaced.Due to the subsidence and to restore leg length and stability, size 40 +8.5 head was used.Doi: (b)(6) 2012.Doe: (b)(6) 2023.
