After further review of additional information received the following sections g3, g6, h2, h3 and h6 have been updated accordingly.(h3) the revision reported was likely the result of the patient¿s pain, which may have been due to prosthesis wear of the tibial insert related to third body wear and/or unreported patient conditions.This cannot be confirmed because no x-rays were provided, and the revised insert was not returned to exactech for evaluation.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.
