Right hip: during a revision acetabular procedure a trident tritanium shell was implanted.5 screws were used from the restoration gap plate screw caddy, all packages were checked by surgeon and scrub nurse.In a post-op x-ray it was observed that a screw was disassociated from the cup.When usage stickers were checked, it was discovered that one of the screws was a torx cancellous bone screw, not a restoration gap plate screw.Update 21/february/2019: as reported in adverse consequence details "surgeon said that he had attempted to use the screw in the superior pubic ramus to lag a fracture.He had during the procedure plated the posterior of the acetabulum.Fx in superior pubic ramus wasn¿t disclosed during surgery.Post surgery, the patient had attempted to weight bear and reported pain.X-ray was taken which also showed a fracture in the inferior pubic ramus.Surgeon said he is unsure what the next step will be at this stage." update 26-feb-2019: "the procedure was removing what was believed to be an old competitor cup.Initially the case was booked as abg removal; however the cup was definitely not an abg - i identified on the x-ray that it wasn¿t an abg and the abg instruments were not compatible sizes.The cup was also not any other stryker or howmedica cups that were available at that time.".
