Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional information.Hcp review: the rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that surround the shoulder joint, keeping the head of humerus firmly within the shallow socket of the shoulder.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.Common symptoms of a rotator cuff tear include pain at rest, pain when lifting, weakness, and crepitus.Typically, anatomic shoulder is performed for an intact rotator cuff and a reverse is performed for a deficient rotator cuff.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.
