After further review of additional information received the following sections a4, b7, d9, d10, g3, g7, h2, h3 and h6 have been updated accordingly.Section d10: concomitant devices: truliant tib imp ps insert sz 2.5 10mm (cat# 02-022-35-2510 / serial#(b)(6)).Tibial tray (cat# 02-022-55-2525).Patella (cat# 200-02-32).(h3) the evaluation noted that revision reported was likely the result of an insufficient bond between the femoral component and bone, 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.
