Complaint sample was returned and evaluated against the reported event.Visual inspection found scratching on the inner and outer radius of the liner.No damage or deformation was found on the nub at the apex of the outer radius.Concentric rings could be seen on the outer radius.The rings produced ridges on the outer radius that were evident when touched with a naked finger.No dimensional analysis will be performed at this time due to the attempt to implant the liner.Dhr was reviewed and no discrepancies were found.The root cause is unable to 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.
