Additional Manufacturer Narrative

H6: investigation results - the revision reported was likely the result of prosthesis wear and osteolysis.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 and osteolysis could not be determined as the device was not returned for evaluation, and images and radiographs were not provided.
