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 wear of the patella component after being implanted for approximately 11.75 years.It is also possible that the reported wear and pain may have been the result of the surgeon implanting an undersized patella component during the index surgery.However, this cannot be confirmed as the device and immediate post-operative x-rays of the index surgery 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.
