This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional and/or corrected information.The reason for the revision reported was likely due to the prosthesis wear and instability or due to the inclusion of the polyethylene in the packaging recall.Instability may be the result of increased soft-tissue laxity (looseness), inadequate flexion of the implants, or improper positioning or alignment of the prosthesis.Possible causes for polyethylene wear include malalignment between the implants, high contact stresses during knee flexion, 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.
