Manufacturer Narrative

This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional information.Upon receipt of additional information, this device was determined to be not reportable.The previously reported dislocation was referring to the fractured bone fragments and not the articular surface.As the periprosthetic fracture was of the medial femoral condyle, only the implanted femoral component has been implicated in the reported event.The initial report for this device was forwarded in error.If any further information is found which would change or alter any conclusions or information, a supplemental report will be filed accordingly.Zimmer biomet will continue to monitor for trends.
