Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
The revision reported was likely the result of an insufficient bond between the implant and the bone which led to aseptic (non-infected) loosening of the femoral stem.The most probable root cause associated with the reported event of "loosening - femoral stem¿ is associated with weakened integration of the device at the bone-implant interface due to loss of fibrous and/or bony tissue and leading to compromised anchorage of the device.
