Additional Manufacturer Narrative

This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional and/or corrected information.The reason for the revision reported was likely due to prosthesis wear and an insufficient bond between the femoral component and the bone, which led to aseptic (non-infected) femoral loosening.The reason for the reported loosening cannot be confirmed as the devices were not returned for evaluation.Possible causes for polyethylene wear include malalignment between the implants, inclusion of the polyethylene in the recall, high contact stresses during knee flexion/extension, third body wear, patient-related conditions, instability, or any combination of these possibilities.If any further information is obtained that would change or alter any information provided, a supplemental report will be filed accordingly.
