Additional Manufacturer Narrative
(b)(4).D10 : 42508606801 - cruciate retaining left size 10 pps standard femur - 66461091.42535007501 - 0° spiked keel left size f osseoti tibia - 66448448.Procedural related complications are influenced by the type of surgery, patients pre-existing comorbidities, and perioperative management.Deep vein thrombosis (blood clot), or dvt, occurs when a blood clot forms in one of the deep veins of the body.This can happen if a vein becomes damaged or if the blood flow within a vein slows down or stops.Total joint patients are typically placed on medication post-operatively to prevent dvt formation.Despite prophylaxis, dvts can still develop which can then break free within the vessel and occlude or block the blood flow in the lungs, known as a pulmonary embolism (pe).As the complaint indicated, a post-operative complication occurred, and medical intervention was required for treatment.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.
