H10.Updated/additional information ¿ g1.G2.G4.H6.The revision reported may have been the result of pain and femoral stem loosening that occurred over approximately 3 years and 9 months of use.The stem loosening may have been the result of an insufficient bond between the femoral stem and the femoral bone, which likely contributed to the reported pain.However, this cannot be confirmed from the reported information and the devices were not available for evaluation.
