D10: exactech tibial tray, catalog no.204-04-32, lot no.2199394; and exactech femoral component, catalog no.234-03-03, lot no.1546557.H10: multiple mdr reports were filed for this event, please see associated reports: 1038671-2023-00509.The revision reported in this event may have been the result of polyethylene liner wear leading to osteolysis and aseptic tibial loosening as stated in the legal documentation.The loosening may have been the result of an insufficient bond between the tibial tray and the bone.The extent of the reported polyethylene wear and osteolysis cannot be determined as the devices were not available for evaluation and images of explanted devices, pre-revision radiographs, and operative notes were not provided.
