Manufacturer Narrative

H3: the prosthesis wear reported may have been due to a combination of the risk factors specified, 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, and/or surgical approach.However, this cannot be confirmed since the devices were not returned for evaluation and radiographs were not provided.
