Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional information.Device history record review was not performed as the root cause of the reported event was determined to be unrelated to the implanted zimmer biomet device.Patient had a manipulation under anesthesia due to pain, stiffness, and limited range of motion after initial left total knee arthroplasty.Manipulation of a joint is a mobilization manipulation under anesthesia and 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.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.
