Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
H3: the evaluation noted that revision reported was likely the result of an insufficient bond between the acetabular cup and the bone, which led to aseptic (non-infected) acetabular cup loosening.However, this cannot be confirmed as the devices were not returned for evaluation and x-ray images were not provided.The most probable root cause associated with the reported event of "loosening - acetabular" is associated with weakened integration of the acetabular component at the bone-implant interface due to loss of fibrous and/or bony tissue and leading to compromised anchorage of the device.
