Additional information- executive summary, implant and explant date.An event regarding revision involving a metal head was reported.The event was confirmed by medical review.Method & results: product evaluation and results: visual, dimensional, functional inspection, and material analysis were not performed as the item was not returned.Clinician review: a review of the provided medical records and x-rays by a clinical consultant indicated: ¿there is no examination of the explanted components from either revision available for review.¿ ¿based upon the information available for review, no determination can be made for the apparent failure of biologic fixation without migration of the primary acetabular component as described in the revision operative report.Persistent radiolucencies in all three zones of the acetabulum, the decision not to augment the acetabular fixation with screws, and the history of previous tobacco use, along with possible component under sizing may have been contributory.The revision acetabulum was larger and augmented with screws.Dislocations after revision surgery are more common than after primary surgery and with a smaller collared head articulating with an elevated rim insert, the possibility of impingement increases.There is no evidence this clinical history was related to factors of component design, manufacturing or materials.¿ product history review: review of the product history records indicates devices were manufactured and accepted into final stock with no reported discrepancies.Complaint history review: there have been no other events for this lot.Conclusions: the event of revision was confirmed by medical review.It was noted by the clinician that the acetabular shell was loose and removed along with the poly liner and metal head.There were no allegations made against the head.It was only noted to be revised.
