H6: corrected: medical device problem code, type of investigation.The reason for the revision reported cannot be determined from the available information but may have been reported at this later time due to inclusion of one of the implanted devices in the packaging recall.However, the reported prosthesis wear/failure could not be confirmed but is unlikely to be due to prosthesis wear and may be related to treatment for the aforementioned patient condition.Potential contributions of user to the event could not be assessed as no images or radiographs were provided, relevant clinical information was not provided, and the devices were not available for evaluation.
