The reason for the revision reported cannot be confirmed from the information provided but may be the result of prosthesis wear, loosening, subsidence and/or due to inclusion of the polyethylene in the packaging recall.The reported subsidence may have been the result of component malalignment, poor bone quality, and/or patient factors.However, the reported prosthesis wear, loosening, and subsidence could not be confirmed and potential contributions of manufacturing, user, or patient-related considerations to the event could not be assessed as the devices were not available for evaluation and no images, radiographs, or relevant clinical information was provided.H6: corrected health effect and investigation clinical codes.
