This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional information.The following sections were updated: b4; b5; d2; g1; g3; g6; h1; h2; h3; h6.The event cannot be confirmed.No product was returned, or pictures provided; visual and dimensional evaluations could not be performed.The device history record was reviewed and no discrepancies relevant to the reported event were found.Review of complaint history found no additional related issues for this item and the reported part and lot combination.An x-ray was provided and assessed.The x-ray was not sent for review as a single undated image would not provide an accurate assessment of loosening which was reported to have occurred within 4 months of implantation.Sending the image would not enhance the investigation.A definitive root cause cannot be determined.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.
