Additional Manufacturer Narrative
(b)(4).This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional information.No product was returned or pictures provided; visual and dimensional evaluations could not be performed.A review of the device manufacturing records confirmed no abnormalities or deviations that could be related to the reported event.Device is used for treatment.Both the crf as well as the implantation report were received and assessed by a healthcare professional with the following findings: the patient, 1.5 years after experiencing a humeral head fracture and undergoing three subsequent operations, presented with almost complete loss of shoulder function and persistent pain.These symptoms were attributed to humeral head necrosis and malunion/nonunion.A ct scan revealed poor bone quality in the glenoid region, likely contributing to the patient's shoulder issues.An interscalene block was administered for pain management and functional assessment.The surgical approach involved the deltopectoral approach, a specific technique for accessing and treating the shoulder joint.Significant scar tissue, especially in the lateral aspect of the deltopectoral interval, was excised during the procedure.The soft tissues surrounding the shoulder were noted to be hyperemic, thickened, and potentially indicative of infection, necessitating further examination.The deltoid muscle appeared thin and pale, likely contributing to the loss of shoulder function.Pseudoarthrosis resection was performed, addressing the development of a false joint, often as a complication of a fracture.A ventral-medial perforation was observed and filled with cancellous bone during the procedure.While the subscapularis muscle was not released, the anterior, posterior, and inferior capsule of the shoulder joint were released during surgery.The bicep tendon was tenotomized during the operation.The initial attempt to reduce the shoulder joint was unsuccessful due to tension.As a result, the decision was made to insert the humeral stem 1cm deeper.The glenosphere, a component of the shoulder implant, was modified, resulting in a successful reduction.A definitive press-fit stem size of 10.5 was used, with specific measurements and adjustments to improve joint function.Radiological images revealed an undislocated fissure in the axial plane distal to the shaft with cortical interruption.The decision was made to treat this fissure conservatively, as it was not visible in the anterior-posterior image.The patient had a history of humeral bone fracture, which had been managed conservatively and resolved by (b)(6) 2021.Following the surgical procedures and evaluations, the patient was hospitalized for seven days and subsequently discharged home.Contributing factors of event: avascular necrosis, osteoporotic bone, clear rotator cuff deficiency; prior left proximal humeral fracture with 3 follow-up operations.Additionally, two undated x-rays of the left shoulder were received, but not reviewed as sufficient documentation is contained within the surgical note.A submission of these images to radiologists would not further enhance the investigation.Based on the given information and results of the investigation, the reported event may be potentially related to the patient's comorbidities and/or past medical history.However, 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.
