Corrected date: device details, manufacturing site for devices.An event regarding malposition involving a trident shell was reported.The event was confirmed via clinician review of the provided medical records.Method & results: -product evaluation and results: material analysis, visual, functional and dimensional inspections could not be performed as the device remains implanted.-clinician review: a review of the provided medical information by a clinical consultant indicated: "i can confirm that the patient had a procedure on (b)(6) 2011 on the left hip that was described as a left total hip replacement.A restoration modular system was used.I can confirm this because i have reviewed the implant record on that date.I can also confirm that the patient had a revision of the acetabulum and conversion to an mdm articulation that left total hip replacement on (b)(6) 2017.I can confirm that the patient had a right hip operation on (b)(6) 2010 using a tritanium acetabular component and a restoration modular femoral component since i was also able to see an implant record.I can also confirm that the patient had a revision operation for the right hip on (b)(6) 2014 for subluxation of the hip since i was able to review the operation report.Root cause analysis: the root cause of these events cannot be determined with certainty.The causes of subluxation following total hip arthroplasty are multifactorial including surgical technique factors in the positioning and fixation of the components, patient factors including activity level, cooperation with postoperative instructions and physical therapy, and bmi.Regarding the operation of (b)(6) 2017 four failed left total hip replacement with recurrent subluxation, no specific diagnosis was given in the operation report except that the acetabular component was changed to an mdm articulation.Regarding the surgery of (b)(6) 2014 where a revision was carried out of the right total hip arthroplasty for subluxation, it was felt that there was some loosening of the femoral component placing it into retro version and the acetabular component also looked as if it had moved slightly and was slightly retro verdict.I would not assign any causality to the implant itself.It would've been helpful to review the primary operation reports on both the left and right hip and it would've been also helpful to review complete x-rays of the preop, postop initial hip replacements and postop revision total hip replacements." -product history review: review of the device history records indicate devices were manufactured and accepted into final stock with no relevant reported discrepancies.-complaint history review: there have been no other similar events for the lot referenced.Conclusions: it was reported that the patient was revised due to dislocation.Intraoperatively, the surgeon noted that the positions of the shell and the stem were not the same as the originally implanted positions.The surgeon removed the bolt holding proximal body to the distal stem, adjusted the position of the proximal body, re-assembled the body to the stem, and then re-introduced the locking bolt.A clinician was able to confirm the event from the provided revision operative reports.His review indicated the following: "the root cause of these events cannot be determined with certainty.The causes of subluxation following total hip arthroplasty are multifactorial including surgical technique factors in the positioning and fixation of the components, patient factors including activity level, cooperation with postoperative instructions and physical therapy, and bmi.Regarding the operation of (b)(6) 2017 four failed left total hip replacement with recurrent subluxation, no specific diagnosis was given in the operation report except that the acetabular component was changed to an mdm articulation.Regarding the surgery of (b)(6) 2014 where a revision was carried out of the right total hip arthroplasty for subluxation, it was felt that there was some loosening of the femoral component placing it into retro version and the acetabular component also looked as if it had moved slightly and was slightly retro verdict.I would not assign any causality to the implant itself.It would've been helpful to review the primary operation reports on both the left and right hip and it would've been also helpful to review complete x-rays of the preop, postop initial hip replacements and postop revision total hip replacements." no further investigation for this event is possible at this time.If devices and/or additional information become available to indicate further evaluation is warranted, this record will be reopened.
