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 may have been the result of an insufficient bond between the implants and the bone, poor bone quality, patient-related conditions, or any combination of these possibilities, which led to aseptic (non-infected) loosening and pain.However, this cannot be confirmed as the devices were not available for evaluation and pre-revision radiographs were unable to be obtained.The most probable root cause associated with the reported event of ¿loosening¿ is associated with weakened integration of the device at the bone-implant interface due to loss of fibrous and/or bony tissue and leading to compromised anchorage of the device.
