Event or Problem Description

It was reported that the patient's right hip had to be revised a second time, within a twenty-four-hour period, because it had become dislocated.The patient's hip had been initially revised the prior evening due to infection.During that surgical procedure, the patient's primary hip implants were removed and replaced by prostalac components (antibiotic coated stem, polyethylene cup, and a metal femoral head).Upon examination of the patient's hip during the second open revision procedure, it was determined that the prostalac stem had rotated within the patient's femur, likely caused the dislocation.The rotation of the stem was due to looseness, caused by an unrecognized femur fracture that likely occurred during the initial revision procedure.The fracture was reduced by the use of cables and the stem was then further stabilized by the application of bone cement.A shorter femoral head, in comparison to the head used the evening before.Was applied.The hip was then reduced and put through a range of motion to check (verify) its stability.Affected side: right hip.This report captures patient's second revision while related complaint (b)(4) captures the 1st revision due to infection.
