Additional Manufacturer Narrative
(b)(4).This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional and/or corrected information.The following sections were updated: b4, b5, d9, g3, g6, h1, h2, h3, h6, h10.No product was returned or pictures provided; visual and dimensional evaluations could not be performed.Review of the device history record identified no deviations or anomalies during manufacturing.Device is used for treatment.Radiographs were provided and reviewed by a health care professional.Review of the available records identified the following: all of the images demonstrate what appears to be a longitudinally oriented minimally displaced fracture involving the lesser trochanter of the right femur.The fracture does not appear to extend to the level of the hardware.No significant displacement is noted on the frontal views, but on the lateral view, there appears to be a cortical step-off which is seen anteriorly (to the left) of the intertrochanteric region.Hardware and bones otherwise grossly unremarkable.A definitive root cause cannot be determined.If any further information is found which would change or alter any conclusions or information, a supplemental report will be filed accordingly.Zimmer biomet will continue to monitor for trends.
