Available post-operative radiographs indicate that the femoral base was malpositioned at time of implantation, indicative of intraoperative user error.The retrieval analysis identified impingement marks on the piston neck and femoral socket confirming malpositioning of the femoral base relative to the absorber.A review of manufacturing records indicates that the fractured component conformed to manufacturing specifications.
