This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional and/or corrected information.The product associated with the reported event is within the scope of recall z-1729-2022; however, there is insufficient information to evaluate whether the subject issue of the recall was a cause or contributor to the reported event.Based on the available information, the patient involved in incident meets the following risk criteria for early prosthesis wear and/or osteolysis: implanted with a lateralized liner and implanted with a component having a shelf age of greater than 2 years.The most likely cause for the reported revision due to prosthesis wear and osteolysis 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.If any further information is obtained that would change or alter any information provided, a supplemental report will be filed accordingly.
