    (B)(4). D10: CAT: 650-1058 LOT: 3220030 CER BIOLOXD OPTION HD 40MM. UNK TROCHANTERIC CLAW. CAT: 110010271 LOT: 7099772 G7 OSSEOTI MULTIHOLE 66MM I. CAT: 650-1067 LOT: 3183289 CER OPTION TYPE 1 TPR SLEVE +3. CAT: 010000999 LOT: 7329339 G7 SCREW 6.5MM X 30MM. NO PRODUCT WAS RETURNED OR PICTURES PROVIDED; VISUAL AND DIMENSIONAL EVALUATIONS COULD NOT BE PERFORMED. REVIEW OF THE DEVICE HISTORY RECORDS IDENTIFIED NO DEVIATIONS OR ANOMALIES DURING MANUFACTURING. MEDICAL RECORDS WERE PROVIDED. REVIEW OF THE AVAILABLE RECORDS IDENTIFIED THE FOLLOWING: ED VISIT DUE TO PAIN AND DISLOCATION. FOLLOWING 1 STAGE REVISION FOR BOTH INFECTION AS WELL AS MOM WITH RECURRENT DISLOCATIONS, HIP DISLOCATION ABOUT THE 4-WEEK MARK. INCISION HEALING WELL, NO SIGN OF INFECTION. ED VISIT DUE TO PAIN, DISLOCATION OF PROSTHESIS. PATIENT DISLOCATED 3 TIMES, INCREASING ISSUES WITH POSTERIOR INSTABILITY. X-RAY SHOWS MODULAR FLUTED TAPER STEM IN PLACE, GREATER TROCHANTERIC CLAW IN PLACE AND STABLE, CUP IN POSITION WHICH IS VERTICAL AND UNDER ANTEVERTED, PROUD SCREWS IN THE PELVIS ¿HOWEVER THIS IS ESSENTIALLY ABUTTING THE MEDIAL ASPECT OF THE PELVIS.¿ SIGNIFICANT MILD BONE LOSS AROUND THIS COMPONENT FROM PRIOR MOM COMPONENTS. REVISION: ¿HOWEVER, COMPONENTS WERE PLACED IN POOR POSITION LEADING TO RECURRENT INSTABILITY X3.¿ EXCESS FLUID REMOVED FROM THE JOINT, CIRCUMFERENTIAL DEBRIDEMENT PERFORMED. CUP FOUND WELL FIXED WITHOUT SIGNIFICANT BONE STOCK MEDIALLY, ¿SO WE USED THIS AS AN AUGMENT AND THEN PLANNED TO PROCEED WITH CEMENTING A CUP WITHIN A CUP. WE USED A METAL CUTTING BURR TO ROUGHEN UP THE INSIDE OF THE CURRENT ACETABULAR CUP IN PLACE, AND THEN WE USED THIS TO BURR OUT THE UNUSED ACETABULAR SCREW HOLES FOR PLACEMENT OF CEMENT INTERDIGITATION.¿ NEW CUP CEMENTED INTO CUP. ¿WE THEN ATTEMPTED TO FURTHER DEBRIDE THE ANTERIOR ASPECT OF THE GREATER TROCHANTER AND ALL ANTERIOR SOFT TISSUES, AS THESE WERE THE MAIN SOURCES OF IMPINGEMENT ANTERIOR. MOST OF THIS WAS DUE TO THE PRIOR GREATER TROCHANTERIC FIXATION BEING PERFORMED SLIGHTLY ANTERIOR. HOWEVER, THIS WAS STABLE, SO WE OPTED TO NOT REALIGN THE TROCHANTER.¿ JOINT CLOSED, NO INTRAOP COMPLICATIONS, STABLE WITH ROM. OFFICE VISIT: PROGRESSING VERY WELL. X-RAY - ¿LEFT TROCHANTERIC CLAW PLATE IS IN PLACE THAT DOES REMAIN FIXATED ANTERIOR. LEFT CEMENTED MONOBLOCK CUP WITHIN CEMENTLESS ACETABULAR CUP THAT WAS IN NOT APPROPRIATE POSITION. THE NEW CEMENTED CUP HAS MORE APPROPRIATE INCLINATION AS WELL AS ANTEVERTED. NO FRACTURES OR DISLOCATIONS SEEN.¿ ¿ULTIMATELY, LIKELY SECONDARY TO THE FIXATING GREATER TROCHANTER TO ANTERIOR POSITION WHICH IS LEADING TO IMPINGEMENT COMBINED WITH POOR CUP POSITIONING.¿ A DEFINITIVE ROOT CAUSE CANNOT BE DETERMINED. HOWEVER, THE SURGEON NOTES THAT THE ACETABULAR COMPONENT AND CLAW WERE POORLY POSITIONED WITH ANTERIOR TISSUES CAUSING IMPINGEMENT AS THE RESULT OF THE PRIOR GT FIXATION BEING PERFORMED SLIGHTLY ANTERIOR. AS PER IFU, THE PLACEMENT OF THE COMPONENTS IS THE SURGEON'S DISCRETION BASED ON THE PATIENT'S ANATOMY. PER IFU, IT STATES UNDER PRECAUTIONS "PHYSICIANS SHOULD CONSIDER COMPONENT MALPOSITION, COMPONENT PLACEMENT, AND THE EFFECT ON RANGE OF MOTION WHEN USING MODULAR HEADS AND EXTENDED LINERS. MALPOSTIONED ACETABULAR COMPONENTS INCREASE THE POTENTIAL FOR IMPINGEMENT, PREMATURE DISLOCATION AND REVISION". COMPLAINT IS CONFIRMED. IF ANY FURTHER INFORMATION IS FOUND WHICH WOULD CHANGE OR ALTER ANY CONCLUSIONS OR INFORMATION, A SUPPLEMENTAL WILL BE FILED ACCORDINGLY. ZIMMER BIOMET WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR FOR TRENDS.

    Description of Event or Problem · 0

    IT WAS REPORTED THAT APPROXIMATELY FOUR MONTHS POST-IMPLANTATION, THE PATIENT UNDERWENT A HIP REVISION DUE TO INSTABILITY, RECURRENT DISLOCATIONS, AND IMPINGEMENT FROM POOR POSITIONING OF IMPLANTS. THE SURGEON ATTRIBUTED THE RECURRENT DISLOCATION TO POOR CUP PLACEMENT. THE TROCHANTERIC CLAW HAD ANTERIOR FIXATION RESULTING IN TISSUE IMPINGEMENT. DURING THE REVISION, A COMPETITOR CUP WAS CEMENTED INTO THE EXISTING CUP; THE HEAD AND LINER WERE EXCHANGED; AND THE STEM AND CLAW WERE RETAINED WITH SOME TISSUE AROUND THE GREATER TROCHANTER DEBRIDED. ATTEMPTS HAVE BEEN MADE AND NO FURTHER INFORMATION HAS BEEN PROVIDED.
