Manufacturer Narrative

(b)(4).Reported event was confirmed as visual examination of the provided photos show the screws holding the baseplate had broken.Further examination was not completed as the products were not returned.Medical records/radiographs identified the following: significant findings include three separate fracture screw fragments within the glenoid with bone erosion along the glenoid could represent evidence of patient infection.Overall fit and alignment of implants on post-op images is appropriate.Mild osteopenia is present.Device history record was reviewed and no discrepancies relevant to the reported event were found.A definitive root cause could not be determined for the fractured screws.The root cause of the infection was determined to be unrelated to the implanted zimmer biomet device.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.
