H6: investigation results - the revision reported was likely the result of prosthesis wear, osteolysis, and insufficient bonds between the implant and the bones which led to aseptic (non-infected) loosening.Possible causes for polyethylene wear include malalignment between the implants, high contact stresses during knee flexion, third body wear, patient-related conditions, instability, or any combination of these possibilities.The extent and root cause of the prosthesis wear, osteolysis, and loosening could not be determined as the devices were not returned for evaluation, and images and radiographs were not provided.
