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 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 devices were 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.
