Additional Manufacturer Narrative
After further review of additional information received the following sections g3, g6, h2, h3 and h6 have been updated accordingly.(h3) the revision reported may have been the result of femoral loosening and patella wear.The femoral loosening may have been the result of an insufficient bond between the femoral component and the bone and patient-related conditions.However, this cannot be confirmed as the devices were not available for evaluation and the photographed tibial insert does not appear to show signs of wear/delamination that are inconsistent with being implanted.The most probable root cause associated with the reported event of ¿loosening - femoral¿ is associated with weakened integration of the femoral component at the bone-implant interface due to loss of fibrous and/or bony tissue and leading to compromised anchorage of the device.Furthermore, the most probable root cause associated with the event of ¿prosthesis wear¿ is associated with material damage to a surface, usually involving progressive loss or displacement of material, due to relative motion between that surface and a contacting substance or substances.
