H10.Updated/additional information ¿ d5.G1.G2.G4.H6.The revision reported was likely the result of an insufficient bond between the femoral component and the bone, which led to aseptic (non-infected) loosening.A contributing factor may have been the patient related conditions detailed above.However, this cannot be confirmed as the devices were not returned for evaluation.
