After further review of additional information received the following sections g3, g6, h2, h3 and h6 have been updated accordingly.(h3) the most likely underlying cause of the prosthesis fracture and the type of fracture reported cannot be determined from the information provided.It is unclear if the acetabular liner locking button failed, if the liner wore through, or if there was a fracture around the liner rim.The most probable root cause associated with the reported event of "prosthesis fracture¿ is associated with a partial or full-thickness crack in the device materials, either during implantation or sometime after.
