This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional and/or corrected information.Updated: d4, g3, g6, 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.A radiograph was provided and reviewed by a health care professional.Review of the available records identified the following: left total hip arthroplasty with periprosthetic fracture along the medial cortex of the proximal femoral diaphysis.Horizontal orientation of the acetabular cup.This could lead to revision but unlikely direct cause of fracture.A definitive root cause cannot be determined.Based on the mmi report, the complaint is 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.
