Manufacturer Narrative

H6: investigation results - the revision reported may have been the result of malalignment between the femoral and tibial components, third body wear, patient-related conditions, instability, or any combination of these possibilities, which led to wear of the polyethylene insert.However, this cannot be confirmed as the devices were not returned for evaluation and images of the explanted devices and pre-revision radiographs were not provided.
