After further review of additional information received the following sections g1, g3, g6, h1, h2, h3 and h6 have been updated accordingly.(h3): the revision reported may have been the result of femoral loosening.The aseptic (non-infected) femoral loosening was likely the result of an insufficient bond between the femoral component and the bone.The cause and extent of the loosening cannot be confirmed as radiographs and images were not provided and the revised components were not returned to exactech for evaluation.
