Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional information.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.Per clinical orthopaedics and related research, manipulation is used to treat and resolve arthrofibrosis, or scar tissue.This procedure is performed to increase articular motion and reduce chronic pain from arthrofibrosis.As the indication for manipulation is related to limited range of motion and stiffness due to adhesions/scar tissue, the root cause is attributed to non-device related factors.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.
