Section h10: (h3) the revision reported was likely the result of the orientation of the acetabular cup, edge loading/impingement, patient-related conditions, or any combination of these possibilities, which led to polyethylene wear after being implanted for over 13 years.However, this cannot be confirmed as the device was not available for evaluation.
