H11.Additional manufacturer narrative- additional information added.H3.Investigation results- this event is considered ¿very low¿ according to the frequency of occurrence ranking scale.Therefore, this issue does not appear to be design-related.This specific tibial insert was packaged for approximately 3 years and 5 months before being implanted.A review of the risk documentation was conducted to ensure the risk was included and the occurrence is below the threshold.The revision reported was likely the result of prosthesis 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.However, this cannot be confirmed as the devices were not returned for evaluation, and images and radiographs were not provided.These devices are used for treatment not diagnosis.There is no additional information available.
