Additional Manufacturer Narrative

This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional and/or corrected information.The reason for the revision reported was likely the result of pain, which was caused by an insufficient bond between the femoral component and the bone, which led to aseptic (non-infected) femoral loosening or due to the inclusion of the polyethylene in the packaging recall.The reason for the reported loosening cannot be confirmed as the devices were not returned for evaluation.Failure of the cement used to secure the femoral component to the femoral bone, may have lead to loosening at the cement-implant interface; however, this cannot be confirmed.Prosthesis wear of the tibial insert could not be confirmed from the images provided.The observed wear on the patella may have been caused by high contact stresses during knee flexion or third body wear, however, this cannot be confirmed.If any further information is obtained that would change or alter any information provided, a supplemental report will be filed accordingly.
