Manufacturer Narrative

An event regarding dislocation involving a adm liner was reported.
The event was confirmed through the medical review.
Method & results: device evaluation and results: not performed as the reported device was not returned for evaluation.
Medical records received and evaluation: a medical review was performed and concluded: the irreducible nature of the dislocation is a procedure-related design characteristic while there are no device-related factors evident from the available material.
As such is this case not device-related.
Procedure-related factors: cup malposition in low inclination as secondary factor.
Patient-related factors patient trauma with a fall as principal failure mode.
Cardiac disease and alcohol abuse may have increased the propensity to falling.
Device-related factors: none.
Diagnosis: patient trauma has caused a dislocation of the adm liner possibly related to additional cardiac disease where the irreducible nature of the dislocation is a procedure-related design characteristic requiring open reduction in case of dislocation.
Hip abductor weakness is a secondary effect of multiple revision surgeries.
Device history review: review indicated all devices were manufactured and accepted into final stock with no reported discrepancies.
Complaint history review: review indicated there have been no other similar events for the reported lot.
Conclusions: a medical review was provided and concluded that "patient trauma has caused a dislocation of the adm liner possibly related to additional cardiac disease where the irreducible nature of the dislocation is a procedure-related design characteristic requiring open reduction in case of dislocation.
Hip abductor weakness is a secondary effect of multiple revision surgeries.
