H3: the revision reported in the case may have been the result of polyethylene wear and loosening as stated in the legal documentation and operative notes.The aseptic (non-infected) loosening may have been the result of both patient-related conditions and insufficient bonds between the implants and the bones.The extent and root cause of the reported polyethylene wear cannot be determined as the explanted devices were not returned for evaluation, and radiographs, photographs, and operative notes were not provided.
