The reason for the revision reported cannot be confirmed from the information provided but may be the result of femoral loosening, prosthesis wear, and tibial loosening.The reported femoral loosening, prosthesis wear, and tibial loosening could not be confirmed.The tibial insert involved in this case is not within the scope of the polyethylene packaging recall.Potential contributions of user and patient-related considerations to the event could not be assessed as the devices were not available for evaluation and images and radiographs were not provided.D4: corrected.H6: corrected health effect, component, and investigation clinical codes.
