This follow-up is being submitted to relay additional information.Updated: b4, b5, d2, g1, g3, g6, h1, h2, h3, h6, and h11.Corrected: h4.It is expected that a wound heals in stages and should be of normal appearance related to the timeframe since the incision was made.A surgical wound should be well approximated without redness, warmth, swelling and/or purulent drainage for the duration of its healing.The expression ¿wound concerns¿ or "non-healing wound¿ would imply that the appearance of the wound deviates from what a surgical wound should appear.It may be red, have drainage, additional pain, warmth and swelling as well as healing time may be delayed.This deviation signifies an alteration in the wound healing process which can be complicated by patient comorbidities such as diabetes, obesity, smoking, and other conditions that are known to slow a person¿s ability to heal.Wound complications can be treated conservatively with cleaning and dressing changes and/or prophylactic antibiotics to prevent infection.If any further information is received which would change or alter any conclusions or information, a supplemental medwatch will be filed accordingly.Zimmer biomet will continue to monitor for trends.
