It was reported through the submission of a revision implant sheet that patient's left hip was revised.Patient originally had an entire stryker hip construct including a 32 +0 ceramic head implanted in (b)(6) 2017.Revision implant sheet only indicates a 32 +4 ceramic head was implanted.Update (b)(6) 2018: sales rep stated "the patient had fallen from a ladder and dislocated.She told the surgeon that she continued to dislocate after being popped back in multiple times.The surgeon decided to revise the poly/head to fix the issue.After beginning the patient, it appeared difficult to dislocate her.We trialed a +4 head and she appeared extremely stable so he just changed out the head.No fault of stryker products at all, purely an accident from the patient falling off a ladder.".

An event regarding dislocation involving a ceramic head was reported.The event was not confirmed.Method & results: -product evaluation and results: not performed as the device was not returned.-medical records received and evaluation: not performed as no medical records were returned for review.-product history review: a review of the device manufacturing records indicate that all devices accepted into final stock were free from discrepancies.-complaint history review: there were no other events for the lot provided.Conclusions: the exact cause of the event could not be determined because insufficient information was provided.Further information such as device return, pathology reports, pre- and post-operative x-rays and the primary operative report as well as patient history and follow-up notes are needed to complete the investigation for determining root cause.No further investigation for this event is possible at this time as no devices and insufficient information was received by stryker orthopaedics.If devices and / or additional information become available to indicate further evaluation is warranted, this record will be reopened.
