After further review of additional information received the following sections g3, g6, h2, h3 and h6 have been updated accordingly.(h3) the revisions reported was likely the result of insufficient bonds between the femoral components and the bones and/or patient related conditions, which led to aseptic (non-infected) femoral loosening.However, this cannot be confirmed as the devices were not returned 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.
