Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional information.H3: the revision reported was likely the result of prosthesis wear secondary to potential contributions from joint instability.However, instability and other potential contributions from patient or user-related considerations to the prosthesis wear cannot be confirmed or assessed as the devices were not available for evaluation and radiographs and additional relevant clinical information was not provided.
