Event Description
|
It was reported by the patient's attorney as a result of a legal claim that allegedly following the implantation on (b)(6) 2012 the patient suffered from left hip pain, discomfort, immobility etc.
And was revised on (b)(6) 2016.
It is further alleged during the revision the surgeon noted "black staining in the soft tissues and thick gelatinous joint fluid.
Some superficial notching in the superior posterior aspect of the femoral component back region.
"the preoperative diagnosis was "left hip high output of wear, resulting in development of cyst compressing sciatic nerve" and the postoperative diagnosis was "metallosis due to impingement of the titanium femoral component with the rim of the cobalt chrome acetabular component resulting in increased development of joint fluid and development of the cyst".
