Event or Problem Description

|
It was reported that the patient's right hip was revised due to loosening of the cement mantle for an exeter stem due to failure of the cement to interdigitate with the patient's poor quality bone (rep confirmed there was no fracture of the bone or any implants).This led to stem subsidence.An exeter stem, ceramic head, and 36e 0° insert were revised to a restoration modular stem construct with cables and sleeves, another ceramic head, and another 36e 0° insert.Rep confirmed there are no allegations against the revised head and liner, and that no further information will be released by the hospital or surgeon.
