Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Section h10: (h3) the revision reported was likely the result of an insufficient bond between the implant and the bone, patient-related conditions, or a combination of the two, which led to aseptic (non-infected) tibial loosening.However, this cannot be confirmed as the devices were not available for evaluation.
