This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional information.The following sections were updated: b4;g3;h2;h3;h6.No product was returned, or pictures provided; visual and dimensional evaluations could not be performed.Review of the device history record identified no deviations or anomalies during manufacturing.The reported products were reviewed for compatibility with no issues noted.Radiographs were provided.The images contained circled points where the site was found within pre-operative and post-operative x-rays.A medical timeline was created using the records provided and identified the following: the patient had an initial left total hip arthroscopy approximately one year and seven months ago.Subsequently, after 2-3 months post-operative, the patient began experiencing severe groin pain.At 6 weeks post operative, the patient reported mild to moderate pain, and x-rays showed no significant findings.During the 1-year follow-up, the radiographic images displayed femoral heterotopic ossification.The heterotopic ossification and a small ossificate within the medial femoris is a pre-existing condition and further diagnostic testing were being performed to rule out the cause of pain.No other trauma or contributing factors were reported, and the patient has a normal activity level.Patient was scheduled for sonography-controlled injection of anesthetics in the site of ossificate.A definitive root cause cannot be determined.Based on the provided medical records, the complaint is confirmed.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.
