This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional and/or corrected information.The following sections were added/corrected: h6: clinical code, medical device problem code, component code, type of investigation, investigation findings, investigation conclusion.The reason for the revision reported cannot be confirmed from the information provided but may be the result of tibial loosening, loss of range of motion, prosthesis wear, and femoral loosening or due to inclusion of the polyethylene in the packaging recall.Based on the reported information, it appears that the pain, swelling, osteolysis, synovitis, ambulation difficulties, osteolysis, and synovitis may be related to the reported loosening and wear.Additionally, these devices appear to have been implanted for over ten years prior to the reported event.Potential contributions of user and patient-related considerations to the event could not be assessed as the devices were not available for evaluation and images 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.
