Manufacturer Narrative

(b)(4).Concomitant devices - persona posterior stabilized articular surface right 10mm catalog #: 42522600510 lot #: 64782011, persona cemented stemmed tibial component right size d catalog #: 42532006702 lot #: 64950550, persona cemented all-poly patella 29mm catalog #: 42540200029 lot #: 65029438.The complainant has indicated that the product will not be returned to zimmer biomet for investigation as the devices remain implanted.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 adehesions/scar tissue, the root cause is traced to non-device related factors.Multiple mdr report was filed for this patient; please see all reports associated with this event: 3007963827-2022-00164.
