To date, there are no conclusive findings from this or similar complaint investigations, or from technical or clinical information in the literature that proves or disproves a causal relationship between synplug & optiplug biodegradable cement restrictors or the materials they are manufactured with, and periprosthetic osteolysis (or fractures as a result). There are also no data or findings that would suggest that only some subset of all the products manufactured might be affected. The finding of osteolysis surrounding the distal cement restrictor is unexpected, and undesirable; however, periprosthetic osteolysis in total hip arthroplasty is a well-known problem that is typically a multifactorial process and may be identified through routine radiographic follow-up.
