After further review of additional information received the following sections d9, g3, g6, h2, h3, h6 and h9 have been updated accordingly.(h3) the revision reported may have been the result of malignment between the femoral and tibial components, third body wear, patient-related conditions, or any combination of these possibilities, which led to polyethylene wear of the tibial insert.Additionally, a contributing factor to the observed wear may have been the result of 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.
