    IT WAS REPORTED THAT THE PATIENT'S RIGHT HIP WAS REVISED DUE TO SUBSIDENCE OF THE FEMORAL STEM AFTER A PATIENT FALL. SURGEON REPORTED THAT THE IMPLANTED STEM WAS TOO SMALL FOR THE PATIENT'S ANATOMY AND THAT THE FALL CONTRIBUTED TO SUBSIDENCE. DURING THE REVISION, PITTING WAS NOTED ON THE INNER ARTICULAR SURFACE OF THE POLY LINER. THE SURGEON REPORTED THIS WAS LIKELY CAUSED BY ABRASIVE MATERIAL ON THE FEMORAL HEAD, AND WOULD LIKE THE LINER TO BE INVESTIGATED TO CONFIRM, AND WOULD LIKE THE RESULTS. THE STEM, HEAD, AND LINER WERE REVISED. THE DEVICES ARE ALLEGEDLY AVAILABLE FOR RETURN. THE REP CONFIRMED THAT NO FURTHER INFORMATION WILL BE RELEASED BY THE HOSPITAL OR SURGEON.
