Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The revision reported was most likely the result of aseptic loosening of the femoral component with possible mechanical contributions to the loosening from instability and patella baja.However, this cannot be confirmed as the devices were not available for evaluation.The most probable root cause associated with the reported event of "loosening - femoral" is associated with weakened integration of the device at the bone-implant interface due to loss of fibrous and/or bony tissue and leading to compromised anchorage of the device.
