Manufacturer Narrative

A number of variables including use error, implant positioning, implant size selection, and patient factors (fitness for surgery, biomechanics, activity level and local tissue oxidation potential) could have all contributed to the increased trend in wear/osteolysis related complaints.The most likely cause for the early prosthesis wear reported is a combination of the risk factors specified in the hhe.However, this cannot be confirmed from the reported information.
