Added information to section e4.H6: investigation results - the revision reported in (b)(4) may have been the result of polyethylene wear, osteolysis, and femoral loosening as stated in the legal documentation.The aseptic (non-infected) loosening may have been the result of both patient-related conditions and an insufficient bond between the femoral component and the bone.The extent and root cause of the reported polyethylene wear and osteolysis cannot be determined as the explanted devices were not returned for evaluation and radiographs, photographs, or operative notes were not provided.
