Additional Manufacturer Narrative

(h3) the prosthesis wear reported may have been the result of excessive posterior slope of the tibial components, which led to posterior wear of the insert.This cannot be confirmed because it is unclear if the patient has been revised and not enough information (images, x-rays, etc.) has been provided.Additionally, a contributing factor to the wear may have been the result of the insert being packaged in a non-conforming vacuum bag for more than five years.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.
