Event Description

"literature article entitled, ¿a modern constrained acetabular component for the management of hip instability¿ by dror maor, et al, published by journal of musculoskeletal research (2016), vl. 19, no. 1, article id 1650002, 7 pages, doi: 10. 1142/s0218957716500020, was reviewed. The authors report clinical and radiological findings in 76 patients treated with a constrained liner for those considered at high-risk for dislocation, intraoperative instability or recurrent dislocations. Mean follow up was 12 months. Post operatively there were two cases of recurrent dislocation, one aseptic loosening and nine cases of deep infection. These results support that these liners have been used to treat, or in some cases prevent, instability after total hip replacement. Implanted products: this study reports the clinical and radiological findings in patients treated with the pinnacle constrained liner (depuy) for those considered at high-risk for dislocation, intraoperative instability or recurrent dislocation. The acetabular cup is the uncemented pinnacle cup in 74 patients and 2 cemented pinnacle cups. The median femoral head size was 32-mm. There was a median of two screws used to secure uncemented cups. The make and manufacturer of the femoral stem are unknown. Results: 7 grade 1 and 4 grade 2 heterotopic ossification. 1 revision of the liner for osteolysis and dislocation. 15 cases of serial radiographically confirmed osteolysis (liner and head)- no revision or intervention. 2 cases progressive loosening of cup radiographically identified, treatment unspecified. 1 revision for dislocation. 1 revision for deep infection and dislocation of spacer from liner during the two-stage revision to treat this deep infection. Manufacturer of the temporary spacer is unknown. 6 superficial wound infections treated with antibiotic. 1 deep infection and dislocation- converted to girdlestone due to inability to control infection. 4 ¿cardiac events¿. Events and treatment are unspecified. 4 ¿chest infections¿. 2 advanced into renal failure. Treatment and type of chest infections are unspecified. 1 asymptomatic aseptic cup loosening not revised due to patient comorbidities making them unable to tolerate surgical intervention. 5 additional deep infections: i treated with l & d and liner exchange, 1 treated with i & d only, 3 treated with long-term oral antibiotics. There was a total of 7 reoperations in this study. The stem is unknown. Therefore, the revision of the stem for loosening is not captured in this complaint. Captured in this complaint: pinnacle cup, pinnacle constrained liner, unknown femoral head. There were no reported events associated with the screws used to secure some of the uncemented cups. There were no reported events associated with the two cemented pinnacle cups. The types of the chest infections are unknown, and are captures as "infections" in this complaint. They types of cardiac events are unknown and are therefore not captured within the guidance document but included in the event description. ".
