Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Visual examination of the provided pictures identified the explanted shell with bio-debris and what appears to be bone ingrowth on the surface.Pictures of the screws, augment, and buttress were not provided.No further evaluation can be made.Review of the device history records identified no deviations or anomalies during manufacturing related to the reported event.Radiographs were provided and reviewed by a health care professional: ct images of the left hip demonstrating anatomic alignment of the arthroplasty components but without solid bridging of the acetabular implant and cement noted consistent with implant loosening.The surgeon noted space between acetabular component and host bone.A definitive root cause cannot be determined.This complaint was confirmed based on the mmi review confirming the loosening.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.
