Additional Manufacturer Narrative

H6: investigation results - the revision reported was likely the result of prosthesis wear, osteolysis, and failure of the cement used to secure the femoral component to the femoral bone, which led to loosening at the cement-implant interface.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 femoral loosening could not be determined as the devices were not returned for evaluation, and images and radiographs were not provided.
