Device evaluation and results: visual inspection: the reported device was not returned as this pi is associated to a closed reduction.However photographs were provided for review as part of the revision that occurred at a later date.The photographs show a recently explanted trident liner.The poly liner has no obvious changes other than explantation damage.Material analysis, functional and dimensional inspections could not be performed as the device remained implanted.Medical records received and evaluation: a review of the provided medical records and x-rays by a clinical consultant indicated: conclusion of assessment a marginally stable hip arthroplasty was present in 2014 with cup malposition in low inclination, mainly due to inappropriate use of a 10° offset liner in combination with a slightly short leg in the hip joint due to inadequate reconstruction of femoral head neck length.The marginal stability of the arthroplasty was further compromised after the first hip dislocation associated with a fall of the patient in 2018.This caused rupture of the hip capsule with loss of soft tissue stability in the joint and no prospect of adequate capsular healing due to further recurrent dislocation in short intervals.Recurrent dislocation required revision surgery with exchange of the bearing for an mdm construct with longer femoral head in (b)(6) 2019.Device history review: could not be performed as lot code information was not provided.Complaint history review: could not be performed as lot code information was not provided.Conclusion: the investigation concluded that inappropriate use of a 10° offset liner contributed a dislocation which ultimately led to a revision surgery.No further investigation is required at this time.If additional information becomes available to indicate further evaluation is warranted, this record will be reopened.
