This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional and/or corrected information.The following sections were updated/corrected: d4, h4, h6.Mdr section codes updated/corrected: b, c, d, g.The revision reported was likely the result of prosthesis wear and an insufficient bond between the femoral component and the bone which led to aseptic (non-infected) femoral loosening.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.The extent and root cause of the prosthesis wear and the femoral loosening could not be determined as the devices were not returned for evaluation, and radiographs were not provided.If any further information is obtained that would change or alter any information provided, a supplemental report will be filed accordingly.
