Additional Manufacturer Narrative

After further review of additional information received.(h3) the evaluation noted that revision reported was likely the result of a combination of patient conditions and malpositioning of the implants; in particular, the overall posterior slope of the tibial insert and tibial tray, that allowed for excessive posterior contact, especially medially, leading to wear and fracture of the polyethylene insert.However, this cannot be confirmed as the devices were not available for evaluation.The most probable root cause associated with the reported event of "prosthesis wear" is associated with material damage to a surface, usually involving progressive loss or displacement of material, due to relative motion between that surface and a contacting substance or substances.
