Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The reason for the revision reported cannot be confirmed from the information provided but may be the result of prosthesis wear, loss of range of motion, instability, femoral loosening, and tibial loosening or due to inclusion of the polyethylene in the packaging recall.The reported femoral and tibial debonding may be due to failure of the cement used to secure the femoral and tibial trays to their respective bone, which led to loosening at the cement-implant interface.However, this cannot be confirmed as there were no details regarding cementing technique or environmental conditions provided.Additionally, these devices appear to have been implanted for over ten years prior to the reported event.Potential contributions of manufacturing, user, and patient-related considerations to the event could not be assessed as the devices were not available for evaluation and images, radiographs, and product information were not provided.H6: corrected health effect, medical device, component, and investigation clinical codes.
