1038671-2024-00491.H6: corrected the following: health effect - clinical code, component code, type of investigation, investigation findings, investigation conclusions the most likely cause for the reported revision due to prosthesis wear and osteolysis is a combination of the risk factors such as use error, implant positioning, implant size selection, and patient factors (fitness for surgery, biomechanics, activity level and local tissue oxidation potential).However, this cannot be confirmed as the devices were not returned for evaluation, and images and radiographs were not provided.
