The revision reported was likely the result of polyethylene wear.Possible causes for polyethylene wear include malalignment between the implants, high contact stresses during knee flexion, third body wear, patient-related conditions, instability, or any combination of these possibilities.The extent and root cause of the polyethylene wear cannot be determined as the devices were not available for evaluation, and radiographs, photographs, and operative notes were not provided.
