After further review of additional information received the following sections device available for evaluation, date rec¿d by mfr, if follow-up, what type, device evaluated by mfr and adverse event problem have been updated accordingly.The revision reported was likely the result of an insufficient bond between the femoral stem and the bone, patient-related conditions, or a combination of the two, which led to aseptic (non-infected) femoral stem loosening.The most probable root cause associated with the reported event of "loosening - femoral stem¿ is associated with weakened integration of the femoral stem at the bone-implant interface due to loss of fibrous and/or bony tissue and leading to compromised anchorage of the device.
