This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional and corrected information.The following sections were updated: h6, h11.The following sections were corrected: h6.H11: the reported event was unable to be confirmed due to limited information received from the customer.No device was returned for evaluation; further, photographs and/or radiograph images were not provided for review.Operative notes and/or medical records were not provided for review of usage/technique.A review of manufacturing data was performed, and no discrepancies were found.A definitive root cause was unable to be determined; however, was likely due to the reported loosening, prosthesis wear, or due to the inclusion of the polyethylene in the packaging recall.Failure of the cement used to secure the femoral and/or tibial component to the respective bone, may have lead to loosening at the cement-implant and/or cement-bone interface; however, this cannot be confirmed.Possible causes for polyethylene wear include malalignment between the implants, high contact stresses during knee flexion, excessive posterior slope, third body wear, patient-related conditions, instability, or any combination of these possibilities.If any further information is obtained that would change or alter any information provided, a supplemental report will be filed accordingly.
