Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
After further review of additional information received the following sections d9, g3, g6, h2, h3 and h6 have been updated accordingly.(h3) the revision due to aseptic femoral loosening reported was the result of mechanical loss of fixation due to cement adhesion failure.Contributions from the type of cement used, cementing technique, or environmental conditions in the operating room at the time of implantation cannot be determined from the provided information.The most probable root cause associated with the reported event of "loosening - femoral" is associated with weakened integration of the device at the bone-implant interface due to loss of fibrous and/or bony tissue and leading to compromised anchorage of the device.
