Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Multiple reports were filed for this event, please see associated reports: 1038671-2022-01594.The revision reported was likely due to progressive prosthesis wear over 7 years of implantation secondary to mechanical overload on the posterior medial edge of the tibial insert leading to full thickness polyethylene wear and metallic wear of the tibial tray and/or femoral component.Contributions from overall slope of the insert and tibial tray, rotational malalignment and/or soft tissue instability may have allowed for excessive posterior contact leading to wear and possible fracture of the polyethylene insert.However, the contributions of individual factors or a combination of the aforementioned factors cannot be confirmed as the devices were not available for evaluation.If any further information is obtained that would change or alter any information provided, a supplemental report will be filed accordingly,.
