H3: the revision reported was likely the result of prosthesis wear.Possible causes for polyethylene wear include malalignment between the implants, high contact stresses, third body wear, patient-related conditions, instability, or any combination of these possibilities.The reported wear of the tibial insert and the patella was able to be confirmed from the provided photos, but the likely cause could not be determined as the devices were not returned for evaluation and radiographs were not provided.
