The reason for the reported event cannot be confirmed from the information provided but may be due to prosthesis wear and/or inclusion of the polyethylene in the packaging recall.Additionally, these devices appear to have been implanted for over ten years prior to the reported event.Potential contributions of user and patient-related considerations to the event could not be assessed as the devices were not available for evaluation and images, radiographs, and relevant clinical information were not provided.
