The reason for the revision reported cannot be confirmed from the information provided but may be the result of prosthesis wear, loss of range of motion, instability, and femoral loosening.Or due to 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 manufacturing, user, and patient-related considerations to the event could not be assessed as the devices were not available for evaluation and images, radiographs, and product information were not provided.
