The reason for the revision reported in (b)(4) may be the result of prosthesis wear, femoral loosening, and tibial loosening, or due to inclusion of the polyethylene in the packaging recall.Failure of the cement used to secure the femoral component and the tibial construct to the respective bone, may have lead to loosening at the cement-implant interface; however, this cannot be confirmed.Potential contributions of user and patient-related considerations to the event could not be assessed as the devices were not available for evaluation and radiographs and relevant clinical information were not provided.D10: logic pts, size 4, 8mm (cat# 02-012-42-4008 / serial# (b)(6)); fluted stem extension 40l x 14 mm (cat# 204-34-04 / serial# (b)(6)); tibial augment block 1/2-sz 4 5mm (cat# 204-64-05 / serial# (b)(6)); tibial augment block 1/2-sz 4 5mm (cat# 204-64-05 / serial# (b)(6)); tibial stem ext.Screw (cat# 204-70-00 / serial# (b)(6)).
