Radiographs were reviewed by a third party hcp and noted a vague presence of periprosthetic lucencies inferior to the tibial hardware component which could be related to developing loosening of the hardware.The 2 postoperative images demonstrate presence of newly present linear lucency inferior to the central tibial peg which could be related to a nondisplaced fracture as reported on the event/deficiency description.Dhr was reviewed and no discrepancies were found.The root cause is unable to be determined.Multiple mdr reports were filed for this event, please see associated reports: 0001825034-2021-01564.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.
