This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional information.Updated: b4, g3, g6, h2, h3, h6, and h10.According to tabers medical dictionary ¿ manipulation of a joint is a mobilization technique, sometimes involving a rapid thrust or stretching of a joint, with or without anesthesia.With anesthesia is (mua).Per clinical orthropaedics and related research (how to treat the stiff total knee arthroplasty? a systematic review), mua is used to treat and resolve arthrofibrosis (scar tissue).This procedure 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.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 will not be performed.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.
