It was reported that an approximately 59 yo patient, initial hip implanted on (b)(6) 2020, underwent a revision procedure on (b)(6) 2024, approximately 3 years 2 months post the initial procedure.As part of the manufacturer's recall campaign, the patient presented to have the hip prosthesis implanted in 2020 checked.X-ray control showed a slight decentering of the prosthesis head and small osteolysis in the acetabulum as signs of inlay wear.This was verified when the inlay was changed on (b)(6) 2024, to a vitd-hardened, specially approved inlay (novation xle neutral liner, group 3, 36 mm i.D., ref 140-36-53, sn (b)(6).As part of the replacement operation, in addition to the inlay replacement, the solid integrity of the socket was determined as well as the curettage of the small cysts in the socket and the replacement of the prosthetic head.Diagnosis that led to implantation: primary coxarthrosis m16.1 implanting clinic: bwkrhs westerstede.Item data for the implantation and replacement, as well as photos of the explants, will be submitted after receipt of a confirmation of receipt with bfarm case number.The explants are currently in the osnabrück laboratory doctor's office (rostocker str.5-7, 49124 georgsmarienhütte, tel.: 05401-33910) for microbiological examination using sonication.After the examination has been completed (14 days of long-term incubation), these are sent back to us and then - provided the patient has given their consent - made available to the manufacturer upon request for further material-technical examination.Surgical reports/x-rays are also available upon request.
