  IT WAS REPORTED A PATIENT UNDERWENT A HIP REVISION APPROXIMATELY TWO WEEKS POST THE INITIAL PROCEDURE BECAUSE A PROPER FIT WAS NOT ABLE TO BE OBTAIN BETWEEN THE LINER AND THE SHELL DURING THE INITIAL PROCEDURE. THERE WAS THIS DELAY BETWEEN THE TWO PROCEDURES DUE TO NEEDING TO OBTAIN COMPATIBLE BLOOD PRODUCTS FOR THE PATIENT.
