  • InjuryAug 31, 2026Fracture

    It was reported that patient presented with a Fractured 11/13 srom ceramic head. The patient had an srom stem and sleeve with pinnacle cup sz. 52 and pinnacle +4 10 degree 36mm ID Liner and Srom 11/13 Ceramic 36mm head. The surgeon performed an extensive debridement and replaced the Liner (matching what was removed) and a ceramic head. There was concern that using a metal head would be worse than the harder ceramic bearing when considering 3rd body wear from residual ceramic.DOI: (b)(6) 2016,DOR: (b)(6) 2026,Affected side: Right.
