Additional Manufacturer Narrative

D4: corrected.G4: corrected.The reason for the revision reported cannot be confirmed from the information provided but may be the result of prosthesis wear and/or due to inclusion of the polyethylene in the packaging recall.However, based on length of implantation, the reason for revision appears unlikely to be secondary to prosthesis wear.Potential contributions of manufacturing, user, and patient-related considerations to the event could not be assessed as the devices were not available for evaluation and images, radiographs, relevant clinical information, and product information were not provided.
