After further review of additional information received the following sections g3, g6, h2, h3 and h6 have been updated accordingly.(h3) based on the available information, the patient involved meets the following risk criteria for early prosthesis wear/osteolysis, implanted with a lateralized liner and implanted with a component having a shelf age of greater than two years.The revision reported was likely the result of a combination of the risk factors including, use error, implant positioning, implant size selection, and patient factors may have also been a contributing factor to the early prosthesis wear.However, this cannot be confirmed as the device(s) were not available for evaluation and images of the explanted devices/pre-revision radiographs were not provided.
