Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional information.The following sections were updated/corrected: updated: h2; h3; h6.Reported event was unable to be confirmed due to limited information received from the customer.The device history record (dhr) was reviewed and no discrepancies relevant to the reported event were found.It was reported that when the articular surface was removed, the medial side of the locking mechanism looked crushed which would point towards incorrect surgical technique as the articular surface was probably not correctly seated upon insertion.However, without pictures or the return of the product no conclusions can be made.Therefore, a definitive root cause cannot be determined.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.
