H10.Updated/additional information ¿ the revision reported may have been the result of polyethylene wear and aseptic loosening as stated in the operative notes.The aseptic (non-infected) tibial loosening may have been the result of both patient-related conditions and insufficient bonds between the tibial tray and the bone.The extent and root cause of the polyethylene wear cannot be determined as the explanted devices were not returned for evaluation, and radiographs / photographs were not provided.
