Additional Manufacturer Narrative

After further review of additional information received the following sections d9, g3, g7, h2, h3 and h6 have been updated accordingly.(h3) the evaluation noted that revision reported was likely the result of of both an insufficient bond between the femoral component and bone and patient conditions, which led to aseptic (non-infected) femoral loosening.The most probable root cause associated with the reported event of "loosening - femoral" is associated with weakened integration of the femoral component at the bone-implant interface due to loss of fibrous and/or bony tissue and leading to compromised anchorage of the device.
