Additional Manufacturer Narrative

H3: the revision reported was likely the result of the femoral loosening, prosthesis wear of the tibial insert, and/or due to the inclusion of the polyethylene in the packaging recall.The loosening of the femoral component could not be confirmed but could be the result of a weakened biologic integration of the femoral component at the bone-implant interface.The wear of the tibial insert was likely the result of joint instability and/or high flexion causing the femoral cam to abnormally articulate with the tibial spine.Should additional relevant information be obtained, a follow-up mdr will be submitted accordingly.The product associated with the reported event is within the scope of recall z-0023-2022; however, there is insufficient information to evaluate whether the subject issue of the recall was a cause or contributor to the reported event.Concomitants: truliant tibia insert ps size 4 13mm - cn: (b)(4) / sn: (b)(6).
