Manufacturer Narrative

H3: the patient/gxl acetabular liner involved was reportedly revised due to prosthesis wear approximately 6 years and 7 months after the index surgery.However, the revised components were not returned to exactech for evaluation and no images or radiographs were provided.Based on the available information, the patient involved meets the following risk criteria for early prosthesis wear as specified in the hhe: combination of largest available femoral head and/or thinnest available acetabular liner was used.The most likely underlying cause for the revision due to early prosthesis wear reported is a combination of risk factors specified in the hhe.However, this cannot be confirmed from the reported information and the devices were not available for evaluation.
