It was reported that on (b)(6) 2020 patient was re-implanted with depuy poly liner, ceramic head and aml stem.During extraction and re-implantation of the depuy aml stem, an intraoperative perforation fracture of the distal femur occurred.The patient required a femoral strut allograft with 5 cerclage cables and a greater trochanter plate to treat (all competitor products).A ct scan on (b)(6) 2021 reports a periprosthetic fracture non-union of the patient's left femur, involving cerclage cables and a greater trochanter hook (manufacturer not provided).There is also no information on when the fracture occurred or when it was initially repaired.All left total hip products were still present.On (b)(6) 2021, patient's left hip was revised to address a loose femoral stem implant secondary to a previous periprosthetic and greater trochanter femur fractures, that had not properly healed and ultimately failed with non-union and loosening of the femur implant.Stem and head were revised to a reclaim stem and head, while retaining the existing cup, screws, and liner.Doi: (b)(6) 2020; dor: (b)(6) 2021; left hip.
