Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
D4: corrected.G4: corrected.The reason for the knee revision reported in (b)(4) is most likely the result of femoral loosening and subsequent third body wear on the tibial insert.The changed kinematics following the reported hip fusion are likely contributing factors to the sequence of events but cannot be confirmed from the available information.The reason for the revision reported cannot be confirmed from the information provided but may be the result of prosthesis wear and instability or due to inclusion of the polyethylene in the packaging recall.Potential contributions of user and patient-related considerations to the event could not be assessed as the devices were not available for evaluation and images and radiographs were not provided.
