This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional information.The following sections have been updated: b4; b5; g3; h2; h3; h6; h11.Visual and dimensional evaluations of the product could not be performed as no product was returned nor were pictures provided.Device history record was reviewed and no discrepancies related to the reported event were found.Investigation results concluded that the reported event was due to failure of the operator to follow instructions.Per the device instructions for use, the system components are sized by matching the femoral and tibial component sizes, styles, and orientation on the product label to the information on the articular surface component label and/or product compatibility charts included in the package insert and surgical technique manual.Mismatching may result in poor surface contact and could produce pain, decrease wear resistance, produce instability of the implant, or otherwise reduce the service life of the implant.Additionally, the surgical technique identifies compatible combinations.A summary of the investigation was sent to the complainant conveying proper surgical technique and use of the device.Reported event was unable to be confirmed.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.
