Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported that this patient had a hip prosthesis cup from exactech implanted.As part of the manufacturer's recall, the patient came in for a check-up.The x-ray and ct scan showed decentration of the prosthesis head and significant osteolysis in the acetabulum as signs of inlay wear.This was verified when the inlay was changed to a vit e-hardened, specially approved inlay (novation xle, neutral liner, group 2 36 mm).As part of the replacement operation, in addition to the inlay exchange, the firm cup integrity was determined, as well as the curettage and filling of the cysts in the cup bed using hydroxyapatite + calcium (cerement bone void filler) and the prosthesis head was changed.
