(h3 the revision reported was likely the result of an insufficient bond between the implant and the bone secondary to an insufficient volume of cement as reported which led to aseptic loosening.However, this cannot be confirmed as the devices were not available for evaluation and no additional clinical information was provided.The most probable root cause associated with the reported event of "loosening - femoral¿ is associated with the loss of direct anchorage of an implanted device over time or due to an injury.
