Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
After further review of additional information received the following sections g3, g7, h2, h3 and h6 have been updated accordingly.(h3) the evaluation noted that revision reported was likely the result of a combination of rotational mismatch between the femoral and tibial components (femoral component externally rotated and/or tibial components internally rotated) and third body wear, which resulted in polyethylene wear and severe delamination on the tibial insert.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.
