Section h10: (h3) the revision reported was likely the result of an insufficient bond between the implant and the bone and patient-related conditions, which led to aseptic (non-infected) loosening.However, this cannot be confirmed as the devices were not available for evaluation and pre-revision x-rays were not provided.
