Additional information after examination of the affected implant by an external examination laboratory.Stage i analysis is complete for the retrieved device per exponent's internal protocol and standard operating procedure, which were created using astm f561 standard practice for retrieval and analysis of medical devices, and associated tissues and fluids, as a guide.The articulating and backside surfaces of the polyethylene insert had evidence of machining marks and multidirectional scratches.The inferior and superior endplates had evidence of damage consistent with impingement.The polyethylene inlay showed an area of deformation on the articulating surface.Overall, the results of the stage i analysis are consistent with devices having a short implantation time, iatrogenic damage, and impingement.
