Section h10: (h3) the evaluation noted that the event was most likely the result of a combination of the patient¿s very hard bone quality in addition to the component being impacted onto the prepared bone multiple times.However, neither the failure nor most likely cause can be confirmed as the device was not returned for evaluation due to being implanted and the fragments were not recovered.
