IT WAS REPORTED THAT APPROXIMATELY TWO WEEKS POST IMPLANTATION OF A RIGHT TOTAL HIP ARTHROPLASTY, THE PATIENT HAD A DISLOCATION. THE PATIENT WAS TREATED WITH A CLOSED REDUCTION. THE SURGEON CLASSIFIED THE EVENT AS AN ADVERSE EVENT WITH MODERATE SEVERITY AND DEFINITELY RELATED TO THE PROCEDURE. THE OUTCOME RESOLVED. APPROXIMATELY FIVE DAYS AFTER THE CLOSED REDUCTION, THE PATIENT HAD A SECOND DISLOCATION AND WAS TREATED WITH A CLOSED REDUCTION. THE SURGEON AGAIN CLASSIFIED THE EVENT AS AN ADVERSE EVENT, WITH MODERATE SEVERITY AND WAS DEFINITELY RELATED TO THE PROCEDURE. THE OUTCOME WAS RESOLVED. NO ADDITIONAL INFORMATION WAS AVAILABLE.
NO FURTHER EVENT INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE AT THE TIME OF THIS REPORT.
IT WAS REPORTED THAT BOTH DISLOCATIONS OCCURRED WITH MINIMAL EFFORT. THE FIRST DISLOCATION OCCURRED WHEN THE PATIENT WAS CHANGING POSITION FROM SITTING ON A CHAIR TO STANDING. THE SECOND DISLOCATION OCCURRED WHEN THE PATIENT WAS SITTING ON THE SOFA RELAXED AND DID A SLIGHT ROTATION WITH THE OPERATED LEG. THE SURGEON BELIEVES THAT THE CONTRIBUTORY FACTOR TO THIS TYPE OF EARLY POSTOP DISLOCATION IS THE VOLUME OF THE REMAINING DEEP HEMATOMA WHICH WORKS AS A HYDRAULIC CUSHION, CONSIDERING THAT THE FIRST DISLOCATION WAS POSTERIOR BUT THE SECOND WAS ANTERIOR. NO ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.
NO FURTHER EVENT INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE AT THE TIME OF THIS REPORT.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION RECEIVED. IT WAS REPORTED THAT THE SURGEON INDICATED THAT THE MRI WAS PERFORMED BUT DID NOT PROVIDE ANY EXPLANATION OF THE SYMPTOMS. THE ELECTROMYOGRAPHY (EMG) HAS NOT BEEN DONE YET. NO ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AVAILABLE.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION RECEIVED THAT THE PATIENT IS STILL BEING TREATED FOR PAIN AND DECREASED MUSCULAR STRENGTH SINCE THE SECOND CLOSED REPOSITIONING. THE PATIENT WAS SCHEDULED FOR AN MRI AS SOME NERVE DAMAGE IS SUSPECTED. THE SURGEON REPORTED THAT THE PATIENT HAD TO WAIT FOR THE REPOSITIONING FOR 16 HOURS. NO ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AVAILABLE.
