The revision reported was likely the result of the patient¿s reported fall which led to fracture of the acetabulum.The reported wear and osteolysis may have due to a combination of the risk factors specified in the hhe.However, this cannot be confirmed because the devices were not returned for evaluation and radiographs were not provided.Additionally, the components were implanted for over 10 years which may have contributed to the reported wear.
