This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional information.Bursitis is the inflammation or irritation of the bursae (the fluid filled sac that cushions the joint) and is typically caused by repetitive motion, overuse, and pressure to the bursae.Bursitis is a very common condition that can impact any of the joints and can last for a short duration or years.Symptoms the patient can experience include pain, tenderness, swelling, stiffness, decrease in movement, and/or redness at or around the joint that is involved.Conservative treatment consists of over the counter (otc) medications pain relievers and antiinflammatories, rest, ice, elevation, and applying pressure wraps.If conservative treatments fail, physical therapy, aspiration, arthroscopy, or steroid injections may be necessary.The complaint indicates that postop bursitis developed and required medical intervention for treatment.If any further information is found which would change or alter any conclusions or information, a supplemental will be filed accordingly.Zimmer biomet will continue to monitor for trends.
