This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional information.The complaint is considered to be confirmed because this information was provided by the patient's power of attorney and mentions numerous post-operative meetings with surgeons.No product was returned because they remain implanted; therefore, no functional testing or visual evaluations could be conducted.No photos, scans, or x-rays were received.The dhrs for the screws involved in this case were not reviewed due to the lot numbers being unknown.There are no indications of manufacturing defects.The most likely underlying cause of the complaint could not be determined from the information provided.It is possible that the devices were not implanted in the optimal position or the patient's anatomy was unique and should have required a patient matched tmj device.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.The following fields were updated: b4 date of this report b5 describe event or problem g4 date received by manufacturer g7 type of report h2 follow up type h3 device evaluated by manufacturer h6 method code h6 results code h6 conclusions code h10 additional narratives/data.
