This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional and/or corrected information.The following sections were updated/corrected: h6.Mdr section codes updated/corrected: b, c.The reason for the revision reported cannot be confirmed from the information provided but may be the result of femoral loosening or due to inclusion of the polyethylene in the packaging recall.The minor wear on the tibial insert was an incidental finding and likely was not the cause for the revision.Failure of the cement used to secure the femoral component to the femoral bone, may have lead to loosening at the cement-implant interface and/or cement-bone interface; however, this cannot be confirmed.Potential contributions of user and patient-related considerations to the event could not be assessed as the devices were not available for evaluation.Should additional relevant information be obtained, a follow-up mdr will be submitted accordingly.
