Product complaint # (b)(4).After additional review of the product complaint the marathon cup wasn't loose, but instead the joint was noted to be loose/unstable.The marathon cup wasn't revised, but instead a competitor cup was implanted over the cup.It is reasonable to conclude the marathon cup wasn't loose, but instead the joint was loose as the surgeon wouldn't have left a loose cup implanted.There has been no malfunction or serious injury at this time as the intra-op change to improve stability part of trialing.
