The reason for the revision reported cannot be confirmed from the information provided but may be the result of prosthesis wear and femoral loosening or due to inclusion of the polyethylene in the packaging recall.Potential contributions of user and patient-related considerations to the event could not be assessed as the devices were not available for evaluation.
