(d10) concomitant device(s): (b)(6) 02-022-35-5011 - truliant tib imp ps insert sz 5 11mm.(b)(6) 02-022-45-5040 - truliant tib fit tray cem sz 5f / 4t.(b)(6) 200-07-35 - advanced patella 35mm 3 peg implant.(b)(6) 521-78-36 - threaded pin size 5.1 collarless 2pk.The revision reported was likely the result of polyethylene wear, femoral loosening, and pain as stated in the operative notes and experience report.However, the photographed tibial insert does not appear to show signs of wear that are inconsistent with implantation.The aseptic (non-infected) femoral loosening may have been the result of an insufficient bond between the femoral component and/or patient-related conditions & nbsp; a contributing factor to the revision may have been inclusion of the implanted polyethylene component in the packaging recall.If any further information is obtained that would change or alter any information provided, a supplemental report will be filed accordingly.
