H3: investigation results: the revision reported was likely the result of prosthesis wear and osteolysis.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.It could not be determined from the information provided whether the reported backside wear was the result of incomplete seating of the tibial insert or loosening of the insert within the tray.The extent and root cause of the prosthesis wear and osteolysis could not be determined as the devices were not returned for evaluation, and images and radiographs were not provided.
