After further review of additional information received the following sections g3, h2, h3 and h6 have been updated accordingly.(h3) based on the available information, the patient involved meets the following risk criteria for early prosthesis wear/osteolysis as implanted with a component having a shelf age of greater than 2 years.The most likely cause for the revision reported due to early prosthesis wear/osteolysis is a combination of the 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.However, this cannot be confirmed from the reported information.
