I had a hip replacement on (b)(6) 2015 using a depuy pinnacle sector acetabular shell and a depuy summit ha ingrown stem.I had no problem until (b)(6) 2017 when i had noise and pain in my left hip.I saw the dr and found that i needed to have a revision which was done on (b)(6) 2017 due to the plastic component failing the polyethylene liner had dissociated with result in the ceramic femoral head articulating on the pinnacle shell.There was a large amount of titanium painting on the femoral head from coming into contact with the acetabular shell, the dr who did the revision stated he had never seen a prosthesis fail like this and he does revisions.This prosthesis only lasted 21 months and should have lasted longer.The prosthesis was sent to depuy that day as the rep was at the hospital.
