Event or Problem Description

A trident all poly constrained cemented liner was implanted on (b)(6) 2019 at hospital to revise a cemented hemiarthroplasty (non stryker) that had been dislocating.The original hemiarthroplasty was implanted due to fracture but the date of this first surgery is unknown.The trident all poly constrained liner has now also dislocated and it appears on xray that the dissociation has occurred between the inner head and outer head of the trident all poly constrained liner.The outer head appears well fixed and has not moved.The stem (non stryker) appears well fixed and has not moved.The head (non stryker) remains on the trunnion of the stem.So the point of dissociation is between the articulating heads of the trident all poly constrained cemented liner.The locking ring on the outer part of the trident all poly constrained liner appears intact and uncompromised on two views.Update: "there was no acetabular shell in the patient.The all poly constrained liner was implanted directly into the native acetabulum.The outer part of this liner remains in the patient¿s native acetabulum.The inner part of the cup dissociated from the outer part of the cup.It was resolved at another hospital.It was apparently not able to be relocated so was revised.Due to this, the product is not able to be returned as it was unable to be retrieved from the hospital where the revision took place.Left".

An event regarding disassociation (reported as dislocation) involving an all poly constrained liner was reported.The event was confirmed by medical review.Method & results: device evaluation and results: not performed as product was not returned.Clinician review: the available medical records were provided to the consulting clinician for a review which was rejected stating - "x-ray confirms disassociation of constrained liner, need additional information; primary and revision operative reports, clinical and past medical history, additional serial dated x-rays and examination of explanted components." device history review: all devices were manufactured and accepted into final stock with no relevant reported discrepancies.Complaint history review: there have been no other similar events for the reported lot.Conclusion: it was reported that the all poly constrained liner was dislocated and it appeared on xray that the disassociation has occurred between the inner head and outer head of the trident all poly constrained liner.The available medical records were provided to the consulting clinician for a review which was rejected stating that x-ray confirms disassociation of constrained liner, need additional information; primary and revision operative reports, clinical and past medical history, additional serial dated x-rays and examination of explanted components.The exact cause of the event could not be determined because insufficient information was provided.Additional information including patient details, operative reports, progress notes, x-rays and return of the device are needed to fully investigate the event.If further information becomes available or the product is returned, this investigation will be re-opened.
