Manufacturer Narrative

(b)(4).This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional information.Procedural related complications are influenced by the type of surgery, patients pre-existing comorbidities, and perioperative management.Thrombosis (blood clot) occurs when a blood clot forms in one of the deep veins of the body.This can happen if a vein becomes damaged or if the blood flow within a vein slows down or stops.Total joint patients are typically placed on medication post-operatively to prevent thrombus formation.Even with the administration of preventive medication, thrombosis can still develop.As the complaint indicated, a post-operative complication occurred, and medical intervention was required for treatment.If any further information is found which would change or alter any conclusions or information, a supplemental will be filed accordingly.Zimmer biomet will continue to monitor for trends.
