Cmp-(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, so visual and dimensional evaluations could not be performed.It was reported that the patient experienced dislocation of the bearing following a fall.The surgeon performed revision and upsized the bearing 1 mm and was happy with the tension.No other oxford implants were removed or revised.The surgeon reported no user error and that the dislocation was not due to product failure.The surgeon believes that the patient fell, potentially did some damage to her mcl and thus achieved better tension with a poly that was 1 mm thicker than the previous one.Therefore, it is determined that the product meets the applicable acceptance criteria and is conforming to the specifications.Device is used for treatment.The root cause of the reported issue is unrelated to the zimmer biomet medical device.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.
