It was reported that during a total hip replacement procedure, the liner would not seat in the acetabular cup.The acetabular cup was placed correctly, and surgical technique was followed.Attempts were made to anchor the insert into the acetabular cup without success.This occurred on at least 6 occasions without it being fixed and took more than 35 minutes in trying to anchor the insert to the acetabular cup.A change was then made to a dual mobility system where it was possible to complete the procedure without major complications in terms of the implants placed.No additional information was available.
