This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional information.No product was returned or pictures provided; visual and dimensional evaluations could not be performed.Radiographs were provided and reviewed by a health care professional.Review of the available records identified potentially under sized acetabular cup for the size of the femoral head.In the appropriate clinical context, this could account for recurrence dislocations.Review of the device history records identified no deviations or anomalies during manufacturing.It was identified that zimmer biomet devices were implanted with competitor devices.Zimmer biomet has not confirmed the compatibility for these combinations of devices.It is unknown if these off-label usages may have caused or contributed to the reported events.A definitive root cause could not 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.
