Additional Manufacturer Narrative
(h3) 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.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 - femoral¿ is associated with weakened integration of the femoral component at the bone-implant interface due to loss of fibrous and/or bony tissue and leading to compromised anchorage of the device.
 
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
This follow-up report is being submitted to relay corrected information.The following sections were corrected: 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 an insufficient bond between the femoral component and the bone, which led to aseptic (non-infected) femoral loosening.However, this cannot be confirmed as the devices were not available for evaluation and pre-revision radiographs were unable to be obtained.If any further information is obtained that would change or alter any information provided, a supplemental report will be filed accordingly.
