    IT WAS REPORTED AFTER IMPLANTING THE G7 48MMC ACETABULAR CUP INTO THE PATIENT'S BODY, THE SURGEON FOUND THAT THE SCREW HOLES HAD SLIPPED, AND THE PLUG COULD NOT BE FIRMLY SCREWED IN CAUSING THE SCREWS TO GO THROUGH THE SHELL. THE CORRESPONDING E1 32MM SIZEC ACETABULAR LINER WAS THEN INSERTED INTO THE ACETABULUM, AND IT WAS FOUND THAT THE ACETABULAR LINER COULD BE FLUSHED WITH THE EDGE OF THE ACETABULAR CUP, BUT IT DID NOT LOCK INTO PLACE. WHEN TESTED WITH VASCULAR FORCEPS, THE ACETABULAR LINER WAS ABLE TO BE REMOVED WITH A SINGLE PINCH. THE DOCTOR FINALLY REMOVED THE 48MM ACETABULAR CUP AND REPLACED IT WITH A 50MM ACETABULUM AND THE CORRESPONDING LINER WHICH FIT SECURELY CAUSING A TWENTY-MINUTE DELAY OF PROCEDURE.
