Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported that this patient's hip was revised approximately 4 years 2 months post initial operation.As part of the manufacturer's recall, the patient came in for a check-up.The x-ray and ct scans showed a clear decentration of the prosthesis head and unusually large osteolyses in the acetabulum as signs of inlay wear.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 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.

This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional and/or corrected information.The product associated with the reported event is within the scope of recall z-1729-2022; however, there is insufficient information to evaluate whether the subject issue of the recall was a cause or contributor to the reported event.The following sections were updated: d4: expiation date.D10 concomitant: (b)(6) 180-01-54 - crown cup, cluster-hole gr.54 h4.Based on the available information, the patient involved in incident meets the following risk criteria for early prosthesis wear and/or osteolysis: implanted with a component having a shelf age of greater than 2 years.The most likely cause for the reported revision due to prosthesis wear and osteolysis is a combination of the risk factors such as use error, implant positioning, implant size selection, and patient factors (fitness for surgery, biomechanics, activity level and local tissue oxidation potential).However, this cannot be confirmed as the devices were not returned for evaluation, and images and radiographs were not provided.If any further information is obtained that would change or alter any information provided, a supplemental report will be filed accordingly.
