(h3) the revision reported was likely the result of patient-related conditions including the fall reported, malalignment, instability, third body wear, or any combination of these possibilities, which led to prosthesis wear, osteolysis, and metallosis.Additionally, a contributing factor to the wear and delamination 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.
