Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional and/or corrected information.The root cause of the reported event was determined to be unrelated to the implanted zimmer biomet device; therefore, a review of the device history records was not performed.Manipulation under anesthesia is performed to increase articular motion and reduce chronic pain from arthrofibrosis.The indication for manipulation under anesthesia is related to limited range of motion and stiffness due to adhesions/scar tissue.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.
