  • InjuryMar 4, 2024Device Dislodged or Dislocated; Device Dislodged or Dislocated

    IT WAS REPORTED THAT A PATIENT UNDERWENT AN INITIAL LEFT TOTAL HIP ARTHROPLASTY. ONE YEAR POST IMPLANTATION, THE HEAD AND STEM WERE REVISED DUE TO LOOSENING OF THE FEMORAL COMPONENT WITH FAILURE TO OSSEOINTEGRATE. THE PATIENT WAS REVISED FOR A SECOND TIME, FIVE YEARS POST IMPLANTATION DUE TO FRACTURE OF THE REVISION STEM WITH COMPLICATED EXTRACTION VIA EXTENDED TROCHANTERIC OSTEOTOMY. AFTER THE SECOND REVISION, THE PATIENT EXPERIENCED RECURRENT DISLOCATIONS REQUIRING CLOSED REDUCTION UNDER ANESTHESIA. A THIRD REVISION WAS PLANNED BUT DELAYED DUE TO DIFFICULTY EXTUBATING THE PATIENT AND THE CONCURRENT ONSET BILATERAL PULMONARY EMBOLISMS. AFTER THE PATIENT¿S PULMONARY FUNCTION AND ANTICOAGULATION MEASURES WERE STABILIZED, THE REVISION OCCURRED DURING WHICH, MULTIPLE HEMATOMAS WERE EVACUATED FROM THE JOINT, AND POSTERIOR INSTABILITY WAS CONFIRMED ON EXAM. UPON REPLACING THE ACETABULAR SHELL, ANTEVERSION WAS INCREASED BY 15 DEGREES. A NEW CONSTRAINED HEAD AND LINER WERE PLACED WITHIN THE SHELL, AND THE REVISION STEM WAS RETAINED. POSTOPERATIVELY, THE PATIENT DEMONSTRATED SLOW BUT STEADY PROGRESS WITH INTENSIVE PHYSICAL THERAPY.

    IT WAS REPORTED THAT THE PATIENT UNDERWENT AN INITIAL RIGHT TOTAL HIP ARTHROPLASTY REVISION. AFTER THE REVISION, THE PATIENT DID VERY WELL THEN PRESENTED WITH SUDDEN ONSET SWELLING ALONG THE DISTAL INCISION. AS THERE WERE NO CLINICAL INDICATIONS OF INFECTION, THIS WAS THOUGHT TO BE A SEROMA, AND THE PATIENT WAS SCHEDULED FOR AN INCISION AND DRAINAGE PROCEDURE. DURING THE PROCEDURE APPROXIMATELY 1-MONTH POST-REVISION, THE AREA OF THE SEROMA HAD A SLIGHT BROWN TINGE IN THE FLUID, BUT NO GROSS PURULENCE NOTED. THE SOFT TISSUES WERE THEN DEBRIDED WHICH REVEALED DEFECTS IN THE ILIOTIBIAL BAND WITH HETEROTOPIC OSSIFICATION AND GRANULATION TISSUE. AN EXTENSIVE IRRIGATION AND DEBRIDEMENT WAS PERFORMED WITH PLACEMENT OF ANTIBIOTIC BEADS. THE STEM AND SHELL WERE LEFT IN PLACE. ALL OTHER COMPONENTS WERE REVISED WITHOUT COMPLICATION.
