It was reported that a 67 yo male patient, initial hip implanted on (b)(6) 2019, underwent a revision procedure on (b)(6) 2023, approximately 4 years 6 months post the initial procedure.As part of the manufacturer's recall campaign, the patient presented himself for a checkup of the devices implanted in his 2019 hip prosthesis.The x-ray control showed a clear decentering of the prosthetic head and unusually large osteolysis in the acetabulum as a sign of inlay wear.The gxl insert was replaced with an 140-36-53 cc inlay vitamin e, neutral, ø 36, gr.3.As part of the replacement operation, the inlay was exchanged, determination of solid cup integrity, as well as curettage and sealing of the cysts, socket bearing using allogeneic cancellous bone, and changing the prosthetic head was performed.Device returns available if the patient makes them available.No further information.

This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional and/or corrected information.The following sections were updated/corrected: d1, d6b, h6.Mdr section codes updated/corrected: b.The most likely cause for the revision reported due to early prosthesis wear is a combination of the 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, prosthesis wear cannot be confirmed as radiographs and the devices were not available for evaluation.Should additional relevant information be obtained, a follow-up mdr will be submitted accordingly.
