H3.Investigation results-the cause of the patient¿s subsequent synovectomy cannot be conclusively determined; however, it is most likely related to the patient¿s underlying condition as associated with the interaction between the implanted device and the patient due to patient illness, unique anatomy, or other condition that impacts the performance of the device.These devices are used for treatment not diagnosis.There is no additional information available.
