Manufacturer Narrative

After further review of additional information received the following sections g1, g3, g6, h1, h2, h3 and h6 have been updated accordingly.(h3) the revision reported may have been the result of prosthesis wear and dislocation that occurred over approximately 7 years of use.The prothesis wear and dislocation may have been due to a combination of risk factors including, use error, implant positioning, implant size selection, and patient factors may have also been a contributing factor to the early prosthesis wear.The patient involved in this case meets the following risk criteria for early wear as specified: combination of largest available femoral head and/or thinnest available acetabular liner was used.However, this cannot be confirmed from the reported information and the devices were not available for evaluation.
