On 16 december 2016 the medical affairs director performed a clinical evaluation and commented as follows: loosening of femoral stem in cementless tha 5 years after primary.The loosening is macroscopic, and it is strikingly evident even in the low-quality x-rays.Also, the postoperative image, again very low quality, does not show any evident implantation mistake.It is worth noting that such findings are rather rare and two of them have been reported in the same week by the same surgeon, in both cases an amistem h (not same size) implanted 5 years before.Unfortunately no conclusion can be drawn on this case with the information at hand.Batch review performed on 27 december 2016.(b)(4).
