Manufacturer Narrative

(h3) 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.Based on the available information, the patient involved meets the following risk criteria for early prosthesis wear/osteolysis as specified, implanted with a lateralized liner and implanted with a component having a shelf age of greater than two years.The revision reported was likely the result of a combination of both patient-related conditions and the risk 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 as the devices were not available for evaluation, and images and radiographs were not provided at the time of this evaluation.
