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 prosthesis wear secondary to shoulder instability.However, the extent and root cause of the prosthesis wear cannot be determined as the devices were not returned for evaluation and radiographs were unable to be obtained.The most probable root cause associated with the reported event of ¿prosthesis wear¿ is associated with material damage to a surface, usually involving progressive loss or displacement of material, due to relative motion between that surface and a contacting substance or substances.
