(b)(4).D10 - concomitant devices - persona posterior stabilized articular surface left 10mm catalog #: 42511400710 lot #: 66557252.Persona spiked keel osseoti tibial tray left size e catalog #: 42535007101 lot #: 66151889.Persona cemented all poly patella 32mm catalog #: 42540000032 lot #: 66623263.The complainant has indicated that the product will not be returned to zimmer biomet for investigation, as the devices remain implanted.The device history records were not reviewed as the reported event was determined to be unrelated to zimmer biomet devices.Bursitis is the inflammation or irritation of the bursae (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 anti-inflammatories, rest, ice, elevation, and applying pressure wraps.If conservative treatments fail, physical therapy, aspiration, arthroscopy, or steroid injections may be necessary.Arthrofibrosis is defined as the development of fibrous scar tissue within or surrounding a joint.Arthrofibrosis is a known postoperative procedure-related complication that can occur from surgical implantation of new joint replacement as well as from previous injuries or surgical procedures.Scar tissue formation is a normal healing response; however, the buildup of such can result in pain, stiffness, limited range of motion, and difficulty properly ambulating.If excess scar tissue develops, conservative measures such as exercises or physical therapy would be attempted first.If these attempts fail, surgical intervention such as manipulation under anesthesia, arthroscopic arthrolysis, or open arthrotomy would become necessary to remove the fibrous tissue and restore joint function.The root cause of the reported event was determined to be related to the procedure rather than zimmer biomet devices.
