Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
The reason for the revision reported in (b)(4) cannot be confirmed from the information provided but may be the result of prosthesis wear, instability, and femoral loosening or due to inclusion of the polyethylene in the packaging recall.The reported femoral loosening may have been the result of failure of the cement used to secure the femoral component to the femur, which led to loosening at the cement-implant interface.Additionally, these devices appear to have been implanted for over ten years prior to the reported event.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 and medical device clinical codes.
