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 prosthesis wear which may have been due to oxidation induced embrittlement leading to cracking and delamination on the articular surface of the tibial insert.Based on the information provided and exactech¿s sales data, it appears that the device may have been packaged in a non-conforming vacuum bag for more than five years which could have contributed to the oxidation of the polyethylene.Additionally, there may have been micromotion of the insert and joint instability which could have added to the 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.
