Additional Manufacturer Narrative

This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional information.A seroma is a pocket of clear serous fluid that sometimes develops in the body after surgery in response to the trauma of surgical incisions.This fluid is composed of blood plasma that has seeped out of ruptured small blood vessels and inflammatory fluid produced by the injured and dying cells.A seroma will often resolve on its own, but medical intervention is sometimes required.Procedural related complications are influenced by the ¿type of surgery, patients pre-existing comorbid state, and perioperative management.This patient is also morbidly obese and diabetic which places the patient at increased risk for altered healing and postop complications.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.
