The reason for the revision reported cannot be confirmed from the information provided but may be the result of prosthesis wear, instability and/or due to inclusion of the polyethylene in the packaging recall.However, the reported prosthesis wear and instability could not be confirmed and potential contributions of user, or patient-related considerations to the event could not be assessed as the devices were not available for evaluation and no images, radiographs, or relevant clinical information was provided.H6: corrected health effect, medical device, component, and investigation clinical codes.
