Additional Manufacturer Narrative
This follow-up is being submitted to relay additional information.Visual examination of the returned pe insert shows that the device is damaged and fractured and the articular surface is fractured and not all pieces were returned.The fracture analysis found: optical images of the device fracture surface showed suspected beach marks and river line artifacts suggesting a possible fatigue mode of failure.Medical records were not provided however, x-ray images were provided but not dated, and would not enhance the investigation process.Device history record (dhr) was reviewed for deviations and/ or anomalies with no deviations / anomalies identified.A definitive root cause cannot be determined.This complaint can be confirmed from the fractured implants that were returned.No problem was found with the returned stem.If any further information is received which would change or alter any conclusions or information, a supplemental will be filed accordingly.Zimmer biomet will continue to monitor for trends.
