Manufacturer Narrative

H3: the revision reported may have been the result of pain, prosthesis wear, and prosthesis fracture, as stated in the experience report.The prothesis wear and fracture may have been due to a combination of risk factors specified in the hhe, including but not limited to use error, implant positioning, and patient factors.The patient involved in this case meets the following risk criteria for early wear as specified in the hhe: significant edge loading of the femoral head on the acetabular liner.However, this cannot be confirmed because the devices were not available for evaluation and the extent of the prosthesis wear cannot be determined from the images provided.
