(h3) the revision reported was likely the result of wear of the tibial insert.However, the cause of the wear could not be determined because the component was not returned for evaluation and images were not provided.Additionally, the insert was packaged in a non-conforming vacuum bag for more than five years, which may have contributed to the reported 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.
