Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
H3: the revision reported was likely the result of prosthesis wear of the tibial insert and patella possibly due to malalignment between the implants, high contact stresses during knee flexion/extension, third body wear, patient-related conditions, instability, or any combination of these possibilities.The cause of the prosthesis wear and reported loosening cannot be determined because the revised components were not returned for evaluation and no radiographs were provided.An additional contributing factor to the revision may have been inclusion of the implanted tibial insert in the packaging recall.
