It was reported that patient has experienced audible noise in their right hip since implantation (noise reported as being squeaky).At first the noise was intermittent, but has increased in frequency and has become more pronounced in the last 6 months.The surgeon wants to know if similar reports have been received for these devices as the surgeon cannot determine if the squeaking arises from the head/trunnion interface or the shell/liner interface.The patient has not yet been revised, surgeon wants to wait for the aforementioned results before making a decision.Update based on medical review 11 april 2019: cup malposition in excessive anteversion as well as superficial position have contributed to impingement between stem neck and cup shell posterior in the joint with secondary displacement of the mdm poly cap allowing metal-metal contact between devices to cause a squeaking noise from the arthroplasty.
