The evaluation noted that revision reported was likely the result of infection and loosening between the implants and bone, possibly secondary to increased biomechanical stress.However, the contributions of infection, loosening, and patient conditions to the sequence of events cannot be confirmed since the devices were not returned for evaluation and no additional first hand details were provided.This submission represents 1 of 163 events identified via active surveillance activities utilizing data form the (b)(6).Follow-ups for additional information cannot be performed for this complaint as the information was submitted as complete by the registry; there is no identification of facilities or surgeons.All available information about the event and/or patient has been provided and it is not possible to obtain any of the devices.
