It was reported that intraoperatively, a titanium cup (it cup) of 56 was first used, and then an attempt was made to implant the corresponding polyethylene liner, and it was found that the polyethylene liner and the cup of 56 could not be locked, so the cup was removed and an attempt was made to implant the polyethylene liner outside of the body, and it was found that it could not be locked, and then the surgeon went back to using the larger file, and implanted a cup of 58, and punched the 58 corresponding polyethylene liner, and it was not able to be locked.The doctor had no choice but to remove it, increase the size of the file, and finally used a 60 cup and the corresponding liner to lock it in place.It was reported to cause a sixty (60) minute delay.No other harm to the patient.
