This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional information.The following sections were updated: b4, b5, d4, g3, g6, h1, h2, h3, h4, h6, h10.Visual examination of the provided pictures identified what appears to be bone on-growth and a mark on the dorsal of the stem which appears to be clean suggesting it could have been caused by fixation or during explantation.A review of the device manufacturing records confirmed no abnormalities or deviations.Device is used for treatment.Radiographs were provided and reviewed, but not submitted to mmi at this time as undated image would be difficult to correlate to allegation.The superimposed template obscures the image and mmi would not be able to provide a complete assessment.With the available information, 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.
