Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
After further review of additional information received the following sections d9, g3, g6, h2, h3 and h6 have been updated accordingly.(h3) 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.
