Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional and/or corrected information.The revision reported in experience was likely the result of excessive overall posterior tibial slope of the tibial insert (as defined by the combination of the posterior slope of the proximal tibial cut and the built-in slope of the insert) and/or axial rotation misalignment between the femoral component and the tibial tray, which allowed for excessive posterior contact between the femoral component and the tibial insert mainly on the medial aspect leading to catastrophic wear of the uhmwpe tibial insert.If any further information is obtained that would change or alter any information provided, a supplemental report will be filed accordingly.
