As a result of this review, it was confirmed that (b)(4) is a duplicate of (b)(4).No additional information was received to indicate the need for a 2nd case record.Therefore, (b)(4) will be closed and the investigation of this event will be documented on (b)(4).The revision reported was likely the result of prosthesis wear.Additional reasons for the reported revision may be femoral loosening and inclusion of the polyethylene in the packaging recall.However, the reported femoral loosening could not be confirmed from the provided information.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 were not provided.H6: corrected health effect and investigation clinical codes.
