    Reason

    The Cathcart Ball has an inherent +5mm offset which is not currently specified in its Instructions for Use or Surgical Technique Guide. The STG has been updated to reflect the clarification that the +5mm offset should be taken into consideration when using a Cathcart head in a construct for hemi-hip arthroplasty procedures.
