H6: corrected the following: health effect - clinical code, health effect - impact code manufacturer narrative updated: based on the available information, the most likely cause for the reported prosthesis wear 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.
