Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
After review of additional information received the following sections, have been updated accordingly: h6: the revision reported was likely the result of an insufficient bond between the femoral component and the bone, which led to aseptic (non-infected) femoral loosening and pain.However, this cannot be confirmed as the devices were not available for evaluation and images/pre-revision radiographs were unable to be obtained.

Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
This follow-up report is being submitted to relay corrected information.The following sections were corrected: b5, h6, h11.The reported event was unable to be confirmed due to limited information received from the customer.No device was returned for evaluation; further, photographs and/or radiograph images were not provided for review.Operative notes and/or medical records were not provided for review of usage/ technique.A review of complaint history determined that no further action is required as no trends were identified.A definitive root cause was unable to be determined; however, may have resulted from prosthesis wear and femoral loosening or due to inclusion of the polyethylene in the packaging recall.Potential contributions of user and patient-related considerations to the event could not be assessed as the devices were not available for evaluation and images, radiographs, and relevant clinical information were not provided.
