Clinical evaluation performed on 08 june 2018 by medical affairs director: stem and head revision surgery in a (b)(6) woman treated for an immediate postoperative fracture following primary cementless tha.The initial position of the stem and cables cannot be assessed not having the post operative x-ray.This event may be due to undetected problems arisen during primary operation that may have weakened the bone which was later fractured by weight bearing and loads, but other unknown conditions may also play a role.We see no reason to suspect a faulty device.
