This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional information.The following sections have been updated: b4; b5; g3; h2; h6; h11.Visual and dimensional evaluations of the product could not be performed as no product was returned nor were pictures provided.The root cause of the reported event was determined to be unrelated to the implanted zimmer biomet device; therefore, a review of the device history records was not performed.Investigation results concluded that the root cause of the reported event is attributed to non-device related factors as the patient sustained an external trauma which caused the reported complication leading to revision surgery.There were no allegations against the device prior to the incident.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.
