    Description of Event or Problem · 1

    IT WAS REPORTED DURING AN INITIAL HIP ARTHROPLASTY, THAT THE SURGEON BROACHED WITH A SIZE 2 BROACH. HOWEVER, WHEN HE IMPLANTED THE SIZE 2 STEM IMPLANT, IT SANK FURTHER INTO THE BONE CANAL THAN THE BROACH. THE SURGEON BROACHED THEN WITH A SIZE 3 BROACH TO FURTHER PREP THE CANAL. THE SIZE 3 STEM IMPLANT, WAS IMPLANTED INTO THE BONE CANAL AND ALSO SANK FURTHER INTO THE CANAL THAN THE BROACH. THERE WAS NO APPARENT BONE FRACTURES AS CONFIRMED BY RADIOGRAPHS. THE SIZE 3 IMPLANT WAS REMOVED AND THE SURGEON CONTINUED TO FURTHER BROACH UNTIL IT WAS DETERMINED THAT A SIZE 6 BROACH WAS THE LARGEST SIZE THE PATIENT¿S ANATOMY COULD ACCOMMODATE. ANOTHER RADIOGRAPH WAS TAKEN AND THIS TIME THERE WAS CLEARLY A BONE FRACTURE IN THE LATERAL FEMUR AT THE LEVEL OF THE DISTAL END OF THE BROACH. THE SURGEON APPLIED CERCLAGE CABLES AND BYPASSED THE FRACTURE USING AN ACROS MODULAR REVISION STEM. ATTEMPTS HAVE BEEN MADE AND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THE REPORTED EVENT IS UNAVAILABLE AT THIS TIME.
