(h3) the revision reported was likely the result of increased biomechanical stressors on the joints secondary to patient-related conditions and edge-directed loading that led to increased prosthesis wear and subsequent particle-induced osteolysis.The combination of risk factors including, use error, implant positioning, implant size selection, and patient factors (fitness for surgery, biomechanics, activity level and local tissue oxidation potential could may have also been a contributing factor to the early prosthesis wear.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.
