Manufacturer Narrative

This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional information.The following sections were updated/corrected: b4; b5; g3; g6; h1; h2; h3; h6 rotator cuff injuries occur most often in people who repeatedly perform overhead motions in their jobs or sports.Degenerative tears can also occur as a result of a wearing down of the tendon that occurs over time.This degeneration naturally occurs as we age.Factors that lead to degenerative tears include repetitive stress, lack of blood supply, bone spurs, and increased age.An injury or failure in any of the rotator cuff tendons can result in laxity and subluxation of the joint.The root cause of the reported event was determined to be unrelated to the implanted zimmer biomet device; therefore, a review of the device history records will not be performed.If any further information which would change or alter any conclusions or information, a supplemental report will be filed accordingly.Zimmer biomet will continue to monitor for trends.
