H6: investigation results: the revision reported may have been the result of polyethylene wear as stated in the operative notes.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.However, the extent and root cause of the reported polyethylene wear cannot be confirmed as the devices were not available for evaluation and radiographs/ photographs were not provided.
