Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
Section h10: (h3) the revision reported was likely the result of mechanical loss of fixation precipitated by forces while playing golf, leading to aseptic (non-infected) loosening.Contributions from initial fixation, bone quality, or osteolysis to the stem loosening cannot be determined from the information provided.
