H3: investigation results - the revision reported may have been the result of prosthesis wear as stated in the legal documentation.Possible reasons for the tibial insert wear include malalignment between the femoral and tibial components, high contact stresses during knee flexion, third body wear, patient-related conditions, instability, or any combination of these possibilities.However, this cannot be confirmed as the device was not available for evaluation and images of the explanted devices and pre-revision radiographs were not provided.Additionally, a contributing factor to the reported wear may have been the result of being packaged in a non-conforming vacuum bag for more than five years.
