This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional information.It is expected that a wound heals in stages and should be of normal appearance related to the timeframe since the incision was made.A surgical wound should be well approximated without redness, warmth, swelling and/or purulent drainage for the duration of its healing.The expression wound concerns or non-healing wound would imply that the appearance of the wound deviates from what a surgical wound should appear as.It may be red, have drainage, additional pain, warmth and swelling as well as healing time may be delayed.It is noted in this complaint that there was wound dehiscence or reopening of the incision.An antibiotic was prescribed to prevent issues with infection while allowing the wound to heal as it ultimately did.This would be a common practice used to treat a non-healing incision site.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.
