Additional Manufacturer Narrative

This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional information.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 under anesthesia is used to treat and resolve arthrofibrosis (scar tissue).This procedure is performed to increase articular motion and reduce chronic pain.As the indication for manipulation under anesthesia is related to limited range of motion and stiffness from adhesions/scar tissue, the root cause of the adverse event is related to the patient's condition, rather than the device.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.
