Section h10: (h3) the evaluation noted that revision reported was likely the result of a combination of prosthesis wear and aseptic loosening between the tibial and femoral components and the bone.The loosening may have led to an increase in cement and bone particles in the joint space and resulted in prosthesis wear or prosthesis wear may have contributed to particle-induced osteolysis.However, the contribution of loosening and prosthesis wear to the sequence of events cannot be determined as the devices were not available for evaluation.This submission represents 1 of 163 events identified via active surveillance activities utilizing data form the united kingdom national joint registry (uknjr).Follow-ups for additional information cannot be performed for this complaint as the information was submitted as complete by the registry; there is no identification of facilities or surgeons.All available information about the event and/or patient has been provided and it is not possible to obtain any of the devices.No information provided in the following section(s): a4, a5, and b6.The following section(s) have additional info: d2, d4 (catalog number, serial number, exp date, and udi number), g4, g5, g7, h1, h2, h3, h4, and h7.Section h11: corrections made in the following section(s): (d2) common device name.(d4) catalog number, serial number, exp date, and udi number.(g5) 510k number.(h4) manufacture date.
