    THA WAS PERFORMED FOR LEFT HIP OF THE FEMALE PATIENT ON (B)(6), 2023. THE REVISION SURGERY WAS PERFORMED ON (B)(6), 2023 BECAUSE OF FREQUENT DISLOCATIONS. ACCIDENTLY, THE EXETER V40 STEM AND THE DELTA V40 CERAMIC HEAD WERE IMPLANTED IN COMBINATION IN THE REVISION SURGERY. THE SURGEON DECIDES THAT THE STEM AND THE HEAD ARE LEFT AS THEY ARE IN THE PATIENT'S HIP AND WILL KEEP MONITORING. THE ISSUE WAS THAT THE CUP WITH THE LINER WAS COME OFF (DISLOCATED) WHILE THE HEAD WAS FIXED TO THE STEM. BECAUSE THE DOCTOR TOOK INTO CONSIDERATION THE FACT THAT THE CUP WAS INSTALLED AT AN INCORRECT ANGLE AND THE ANTEVERSION ANGLE OF THE STEM WAS TOO SHARP, THE ENTIRE IMPLANT PRODUCTS, INCLUDING NOT ONLY THE CUP AND LINER BUT ALSO THE HEAD AND STEM, WERE REPLACED. THIS RECORD WAS OPENED FOR REVISION SURGERY BY FREQUENT DISLOCATIONS AND INCORRECT COMBINATION IMPLANTATION IN THE REVISION SURGERY WAS OPENED IN ANOTHER RECORD.

    THE CUSTOMER REPORTED THAT DURING A REVISION CASE, THE SURGEON HAD PLANNED TO REVISE A CUP AND WHEN THE PATIENT WAS OPENED, HE REALIZED THAT THE STEM WOULD ALSO NEED REVISING. THE EXETER STEM WAS DIFFICULT TO REMOVE. IT HAD TO BE REMOVED USING A FLEXIBLE OSTEOTOME AND THE REMOVAL PROCESS ADDED 20 MINUTES TO THE SURGERY. THE CUSTOMER ALLEGES THAT THE STEM WAS TARNISHED AND THAT THIS MAKES THE STEM MORE LIKELY TO STICK IN THE FEMORAL CANAL BECAUSE THE POLISHED SURFACE IS NOT LONGER THERE AND THAT HAD THE DEVICE BEEN MADE OF COCR THEN THE TARNISHING WOULD NOT HAVE OCCURRED.

    IT WAS REPORTED THAT DURING THE REVISION SURGERY WITH EXETER STEM FOR FRACTURE AFTER BHA SURGERY USING A COMPETITOR STEM. AFTER THE CEMENT WAS INSERTED INTO MEDULLARY CAVITY, THE STEM AND THE CENTRALIZER WERE INSERTED. AFTER THAT, THE STEM WAS REMOVED AND THE CENTRALIZER WAS LEFT IN THE MEDULLARY CAVITY AND THE SURGEON WAS NOT ABLE TO FIND THE CENTRALIZER. THEREFORE THE STEM WAS INSERTED WITHOUT CENTRALIZER AND THE OPERATION WAS FINISHED. DISTAL OF THE STEM WAS DEVIATED AT BY THE FRACTURE LINE AFTER SURGERY X-P. ALTHOUGH THE TIMING IS UNDECIDED YET, THE SURGEON PLAN TO OPERATE THE PLATE ON THE STEM.
