This follow-up is being submitted to relay additional information.Updated: b4, b5, b7, g3, g6, h1, h2, h3, h6, and h10 it was reported a patient had a total knee arthroplasty.Subsequently, approximately 3 months later, underwent a manipulation under anesthesia, due to stiffness.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.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.
