(h3) the revision reported was likely the result of a deterioration of the bond between the acetabular cup and the bone after being implanted for over 11 years, which led to aseptic (non-infected) acetabular loosening.However, this cannot be confirmed as the explanted devices were not returned for evaluation and x-rays 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.Section d10: concomitant medical products nv gxl linr, ntrl, 32mm id, group 2 cups (cat# 130-32-52 / serial# (b)(6)) cocr fem head 32mm +0 offset 12/14 (cat# 142-32-00 / serial# (b)(6)).
