Additional Manufacturer Narrative

After further review of additional information received the following sections g3, g6, h2, h3 and h6 have been updated accordingly.(h3 the revision reported was likely the result of an insufficient bond between the femoral stem and the femoral bone, which led to the reported pain and signs of osteolysis.However, this cannot be confirmed because the revised components were not returned for evaluation and only one image and one radiograph were provided.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.
