Additional Manufacturer Narrative

This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional information.The following sections were updated: b4; b5; g3; g6; h1; h2; h3; h6; h10; h11.Visual examination of the returned product identified signs of use and implantation in the form of gouges, wear, and foreign debris on the implants surface.The implant is fractured, and it is not determined if all pieces were returned.Dimensional analysis of the product determined that the product, where measured, was conforming to print specifications.The device was submitted for further analysis.Analysis determined the base of the locking pin and the bumper fragment both show possible evidence of stress whitening and slight plastic deformation at the fracture surface.The superior side of the bumper shows possible evidence of impingement damage, possibly from the femoral component during hyperextension.The tabs on the inferior side of the bumper both appear to have some plastic deformation and/or impingement damage but the timeline for this cannot be stated with certainty.The failure of the bumper locking pin was due to high bending or shear forces acting on the pin after insertion, possibly exacerbated by impingement from the femoral component.The device history record was reviewed and no discrepancies relevant to the reported event were found.Medical records were not provided.Complaint is confirmed for implant breakage with the returned device.The complaint of implant loosening is not confirmed.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.
