The reason for the revision reported cannot be confirmed from the information provided but may be the result of femoral loosening, prosthesis wear and/or due to inclusion of the polyethylene in the packaging recall.The reported femoral loosening was likely due to the patient's traumatic fall; however, this cannot be confirmed.Potential contributions of user and patient-related considerations to the event could not be assessed as the devices were not available for evaluation and images and radiographs were not provided.H6: corrected health effect, component, and investigation clinical codes.
