• InjuryJul 28, 2026Device Dislodged or Dislocated

  It was reported that the patient underwent hip arthroplasty surgery in 2022. Components implanted were Corail femoral stem, 32mm +1 Articuleze metal head, 32/50 +4 10 degree Pinnacle Marathon acetabular liner, and 50mm Pinnacle Sector Gription shell. Surgery was completed successfully at the time. In (b)(6) 2026, patient notified the surgeon that they ¿had felt a pop in their hip region and hip felt odd¿. X-rays showed that revision surgery was necessary. During the hip revision surgery, the surgeon discovered that the acetabular liner was partially dissociated. The liner was partially dissociated in the posterior aspect. The surgeon then removed the partially dissociated liner and the previous femoral head. The liner was replaced with an ALtrex polyethylene one of identical dimensions. Surgeon also replaced the femoral head with a Biolox Delta Ceramic head of identical dimensions. The hip was then reduced and surgery finished successfully according to plan. No additional information is available.
