Event or Problem Description

As reported, approximately 5 years and 1 month post initial implant, as part of the manufacturer's recall, the patient came in for a check-up.The x-ray and ct scans showed a slight decentration of the prosthesis head and small osteolyses in the acetabulum as signs of inlay wear.Revision surgery was then performed at which time this was verified when the inlay was changed to a vit e-hardened specially approved inlay.As part of the replacement operation, in addition to the inlay exchange, the firm cup integrity was determined, the cysts in the cup bed were cured and filled using hydroxyapatite + calcium (cerament bone void filler) and the prosthesis head was changed.
