(h3 the revision reported may have been due to third body wear, patient-related conditions, instability, and/or malalignment between the femoral and tibial components, which led to prosthesis wear.However, this cannot be confirmed as the device was not available for evaluation and images of the explanted device/radiographs were not provided.The most probable root cause associated with the reported 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.
