This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional information.The following sections were updated: b4, d9, g3, g6, h2, h3, h6, h11.Visual inspection of the returned articular surface identified that the dovetail feature was flared and compressed and the extraction slot and anterior surface were deformed.The device history records were reviewed and no discrepancies were identified.Damage to the articular surface can occur if the articular surface is not correctly placed and oriented prior to insertion.Detailed instructions for articular surface insertion are provided within the surgical technique.The root cause is attributed to user error as instructions were not followed.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.
