Concomitant products: - three peg patella 29mm (cat# 200-02-29 / serial# (b)(6)).The revision reported was likely due to the reported instability, or due to the inclusion of the polyethylene tibial insert in the packaging recall.Prosthesis wear of the patella appears to be an incidental finding during revision and does not appear to be the cause for the revision.Additional reasons for the reported revision may be tibial insert prosthesis wear and instability, however, the reported instability and tibial insert prosthesis wear could not be confirmed from the provided information.Additionally, a contributing factor to the reported wear may have been the result of the tibial insert being packaged in a non-conforming vacuum bag for more than five years.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.If any further information is obtained that would change or alter any information provided, a supplemental report will be filed accordingly.
