It was reported that a 72 yo male patient, initial right hip implanted on (b)(6) 2017, underwent a revision procedure on (b)(6) 2024, approximately 6 years 6 months post the initial procedure.The patient was revised due to premature wear of their gxl liner.The surgeon did a head and liner exchange.There were no device breakages or surgical delays during the procedure.The patient was last known to be stable following the event.No x-rays or device images were available.The explanted devices are not able to be returned.They were sent to legal.No further information.

H3: the patient/gxl acetabular liner involved was reportedly revised due to prosthesis wear approximately 6 years and 7 months after the index surgery.However, the revised components were not returned to exactech for evaluation and no images or radiographs were provided.Based on the available information, the patient involved meets the following risk criteria for early prosthesis wear as specified in the hhe: combination of largest available femoral head and/or thinnest available acetabular liner was used.The most likely underlying cause for the revision due to early prosthesis wear reported is a combination of risk factors specified in the hhe.However, this cannot be confirmed from the reported information and the devices were not available for evaluation.

This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional and/or corrected information.The most likely cause for the reported revision due to prosthesis wear is a combination of the risk factors specified: such as use error, implant positioning, implant size selection, and patient factors (fitness for surgery, biomechanics, activity level and local tissue oxidation potential).Additionally, the sequence of events as related to the reported wear cannot be confirmed and the contributions of each to the reported event cannot be determined.However, this cannot be confirmed as the devices were not returned for evaluation, and images and radiographs were not provided.If any further information is obtained that would change or alter any information provided, a supplemental report will be filed accordingly.
