This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional information.The following sections were updated/corrected: b4; b5; d2; g1; g3; g6; h1; h2; h3; h6.No product was returned or pictures provided; visual and dimensional evaluations could not be performed.A radiograph was provided but not reviewed by a health care professional as rotator cuff failure would not be well demonstrated on plain film xray.Review of the device history record(s) identified no deviations or anomalies during manufacturing.Rotator cuff injuries occur most often in people who repeatedly perform overhead motions or experience any sort of trauma to the shoulder.Degenerative tears can also occur because of gradual wearing down of the tendon.This degeneration naturally occurs as we age.Factors that lead to degenerative tears include repetitive stress, lack of blood supply, bone spurs, and increased age.Common symptoms of a rotator cuff tear include pain at rest or with activity, weakness, and crepitus.Typically, an anatomic shoulder is performed when the rotator cuff is stable and intact, and a reverse shoulder is performed for an insufficient rotator cuff.Root cause of the reported event is not device related.Upon conclusion of the investigation, no problem was found with the given device.If any further information which would change or alter any conclusions or information, a supplemental report will be filed accordingly.Zimmer biomet will continue to monitor for trends.
