Manufacturer Narrative

Visual inspection confirmed that the stem is seized to the cone body.The distal end of the stem is in good overall condition with no damage observed.Scratching and gouging were observed on opposite sides of the stem near the mating features of the cone body.The stem screw was not returned.Attempts were made to dislodge the stem and cone body, however, we were not able to separate the trial from the stem.A review of the device history records identified no deviations or anomalies during manufacturing.A definitive root cause cannot be determined.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.
