Additional Manufacturer Narrative
This follow-up is being submitted to relay additional information.Arthrofibrosis is defined as the development of fibrous tissue or scar tissue in a joint.Arthrofibrosis is a known postoperative procedure related complication that can occur from not only surgical implantation of new joint, but also previous injuries to the joint, or surgical procedures.As joint trauma, injury or surgical procedures increase the risk for development of these fibrosis or scar tissue formation, thus causing contracture of the tissue.This results in the patient having increased symptoms of pain, limp, weakness, swelling, and inability to have full range of motion.Symptoms can depend on the location of the arthrofibrosis tissue.If this develops, conservative measures would be attempted first, such as mua or therapy.If conservative measures fail, surgical intervention will become necessary to remove the fibrous tissue causing the problems.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.
