Event Description

It was reported the patient underwent a primary tha.It was noted during the procedure the original g7 +5 liner would not seat within the g7 osseoti cup.After multiple attempts to seat the liner unsuccessfully, the decision was made to try a new liner and check the cup/screws.Visually the cup and screws were checked, the new g7 +5 liner still would not seat.At this point, the surgeon made the decision to proceed utilizing a g7 dual mobility liner which seated without incidence.The procedure was completed following a thirty-minute delay with multiple forceful events at seating the two primary liners.The patient was later determined to have a acetabular fracture where the g7 cup pushed through the medial wall.The surgeon believes he may have cracked the pelvis during the primary surgery while attempting to seat the g7 liners.Subsequently, the patient underwent an acetabular revision where the cup, bone screws, dual mobility liner and ceramic head were revised.

(udi) :(b)(4).Upon visual inspection both of the liners did not show any damage to the outside radius of the sphere.The scallops on both of the liners show an indentation along with the chamfer seen on the print.Device history record (dhr) was reviewed and no discrepancies relevant to the reported event were found.Medical records/radiographs were provided and reviewed by a health care professional.Review of the available records identified the following: (summarized by hcp) mmi review: right total hip arthroplasty with horizontal positioning of the acetabular cup as well as acetabuli protrusio and absence of the medial wall, suggesting migration.Rounded lucency along the inferior acetabulum laterally suggests possible osteolysis.Significant lucency along the femoral stem suggests possible loosening of the femoral component.Horizontal alignment of the acetabular cup is abnormal.Acetabular inclination angles cannot be accurately measured without a true ap pelvis film.However, visually, the acetabular cup appears to be horizontal in position.Significant lucency along the femoral component suggests loosening.A definitive root cause cannot be determined.If any further information is found which would change or alter any conclusions or information, a supplemental report will be filed accordingly.Zimmer biomet will continue to monitor for trends.
