THE INVESTIGATION COULD NOT DRAW ANY CONCLUSIONS REGARDING THE REPORTED POLYETHYLENE WEAR WITHOUT THE PRODUCT TO EXAMINE; HOWEVER, WEAR OF A POLYETHYLENE KNEE DEVICE AFTER APPROXIMATELY TWENTY-FOUR YEARS IN VIVO IS NOT UNEXPECTED. BASED ON THE INABILITY TO DETERMINE A ROOT CAUSE, THE NEED FOR CORRECTIVE ACTION WAS NOT INDICATED. DEPUY CONSIDERS THE INVESTIGATION CLOSED AT THIS TIME.
