An event regarding dislocation involving a trident liner was reported.The event was not confirmed.Method & results: -product evaluation and results: visual inspection: visual inspection of the returned devices indicated that the metal head is scratched on the outer articulating surface and the poly liner has a threaded hole consistent with a screw inserted and removed.The damage on both devices is consistent with contact with explantation tooling.The poly liner exhibits yellow discoloration in areas.-clinician review: a review of the provided medical records by a clinical consultant indicated: a review of the provided medical records by a clinical consultant indicated: "conclusion/assessment: no medical data, medical records, operative reports or labelled x-rays were provided for review.Based on the pi report a revision was performed for pain and a dislocation.Some discolored tissue was noted intraoperatively.The intraoperative photos showed some mild metal staining and what appeared to be some tissue erosion.There were corrosion products seen on the trunnion and head with some bone resorption.The x-rays, unlabeled, show some osteolysis.It is difficult to define the events without additional medical records.Event confirmation: a revision surgery can be confirmed from the pi report and intraoperative photos (unlabeled), but there were no confirmatory medical records.A dislocation cannot be confirmed.Some discoloration of tissue can be confirmed (unlabeled photo).Root cause: a root cause of the revision surgery cannot be ascertained.The tissue discoloration was likely from metallosis but again unconfirmed." -product history review: review of the device history records indicate devices were manufactured and accepted into final stock with no relevant reported discrepancies.-complaint history review: there have been no other similar events for the lot referenced.Conclusions: it was reported that the patient was revised due to pain and dislocation.Visual inspection of the returned devices indicated that the metal head is scratched on the outer articulating surface and the poly liner has a threaded hole consistent with a screw inserted and removed.The damage on both devices is consistent with contact with explantation tooling.The poly liner exhibits yellow discoloration in areas.A review of the medical records by a clinical consultant was unable to confirm the dislocation event: a review of the provided medical records by a clinical consultant indicated: "conclusion/assessment: no medical data, medical records, operative reports or labelled x-rays were provided for review.Based on the pi report a revision was performed for pain and a dislocation.Some discolored tissue was noted intraoperatively.The intraoperative photos showed some mild metal staining and what appeared to be some tissue erosion.There were corrosion products seen on the trunnion and head with some bone resorption.The x-rays, unlabeled, show some osteolysis.It is difficult to define the events without additional medical records.Event confirmation: a revision surgery can be confirmed from the pi report and intraoperative photos (unlabeled), but there were no confirmatory medical records.A dislocation cannot be confirmed.Some discoloration of tissue can be confirmed (unlabeled photo).Root cause: a root cause of the revision surgery cannot be ascertained.The tissue discoloration was likely from metallosis but again unconfirmed." no further investigation for this event is possible at this time.If additional information becomes available to indicate further evaluation is warranted, this record will be reopened.
