Dr (b)(6) performed a hemiarthroplasty on his patient using the above implants.Once the hip was reduced he noted that there was no movement between the 22mm femoral head and the tandem shell, effectively negating the benefit of using a bi-polar construct.Even on moving the articulating surface by hand the components were very stiff and resistant to free movement.Revision surgery was performed on (b)(6) 2018.
