Event or Problem Description
|
|
Patient reported with painful left total hip arthroplasty (54 pinnacle 300, 36x54 ultimet liner, 36 +5 cobalt chrome head, and aml stem).Initial plan was to revise metal liner to poly and retain cup.Exposure revealed male aligned cup; therefore, determination made to revise entire cup, liner and head construct.Revised to a 58 pinnacle multihole, altrx 40x58 +410 liner, and +5 delta ceramic head resulting in a stable construct.Apparent corrosion at the head grunion interface.No corrosion noted at cup/liner interface as the metal liner was apparently mal-aligned and incarcerated in the cup likely due to error in placing the implant during the index procedure.
