Event Description
|
It was reported that an initial left total hip arthroplasty was performed on (b)(6) 2017 due to left femoral neck fracture.Advantage cemented shell, advantage inlay, optipac-s 60 refobacin bone cement, femoral stem, femoral head sterile and intramedullary plug were implanted.Subsequently, the patient experienced redness and drainage from the surgical site, was placed on prophylactic antibiotics, and was admitted for observation to rule out infection.Infection was ruled out, and the drainage discontinued without further complication.Wound complication lasted until mid-february as per patient.This event is investigated in the current complaint for the optipac-s 60 refobacin bone cement lot b708c06355.Subsequently, the patient was revised on 02 july 2018 due to recurrent dislocations, instability, and impingement (investigated in (b)(4)).On (b)(6) 2018, the patient underwent a stage 1 revision of all components with implantation of an antibiotic spacer due to femoral periprosthetic fracture and concurrent infection (investigated in (b)(4)).The spacer was removed during the stage 2 revision on (b)(6) 2019.No additional patient consequences were reported.
