H3: the revision reported was likely the result of third body wear, patient related conditions, or a combination of these possibilities.An additional contributing factor to the revision may have been inclusion of the implanted polyethylene component in the packaging recall.However, this cannot be confirmed as the device was not returned for evaluation.
