Additional Manufacturer Narrative

After further review of additional information received the following sections g3, g6, h2, h3 and h6 have been updated accordingly.(h3) the revision reported may have been the result of an insufficient bond between the femoral component and the bone and/or patient-related conditions, which led to aseptic (non-infected) femoral loosening.However, this cannot be confirmed as the devices were not available for evaluation.The most probable root cause associated with the reported event of ¿loosening - femoral¿ is associated with weakened integration of the femoral component at the bone-implant interface due to loss of fibrous and/or bony tissue and leading to compromised anchorage of the device.
