H3: the revision reported may have been the result of the orientation of the acetabular cup, edge loading/impingement, patient-related conditions, or any combination of these possibilities, which led to polyethylene wear and osteolysis after being implanted for 10+ years.It should also be noted that using both a lateralized liner and a group 2 acetabular liner with a 36mm femoral head creates a combination of the largest available head and the thinnest available acetabular liner (for group 2), which is a risk factor for early wear and lysis specified in the hhe.However, the reported wear and reason for revision cannot be confirmed as the devices were not available for evaluation and no pictures, radiographs, or medical records were provided at the time of this evaluation.
