Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The reason for the revision reported cannot be confirmed from the information provided but may be due to polyethylene wear as reported.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.However, the reported polyethylene wear cannot be confirmed as the devices were not available for evaluation and radiographs/ photographs and operative notes were not provided.
