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 was likely the result of an insufficient bond between the implant and the bone which led to aseptic (non-infected) loosening of the femoral component.However, this cannot be confirmed because the devices were not returned for evaluation.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.
