The prosthesis wear reported may have been due to a combination of the risk factors specified in the hhe, such as use error, implant positioning, implant size selection, patient factors (fitness for surgery, biomechanics, activity level and local tissue oxidation potential), the use of nylon vacuum bags without evoh, surgical approach, or any combination of these possibilities.However, this cannot be confirmed since the devices were not returned for evaluation and radiographs were not provided.
