The reason for the revision reported cannot be determined from the available information but may have been reported at this later time due to inclusion of one of the implanted devices in the packaging recall.However, the reported prosthesis wear/failure could not be confirmed and potential contributions of user or patient-related considerations to the event could not be assessed as no images or radiographs were provided, relevant clinical information was not provided, and the devices were not available for evaluation.
