This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional information.The following sections were updated: b4; b5; g3; g6; h1; h2; h3; h6; h11.Visual examination of the returned impactor pad identified signs of repeated use (nicked and gouged) and a piece of the impactor pad had fractured off.Not all fractured pieces were returned.The impactor pad fracture surface artifacts of hackle marks and river lines support the overload failure mode and align with summary of failure analysis of knee impactor fractures in which an overload fracture failure mode was identified.Dimensional analysis of the product determined that the product, where measured, was conforming to print specifications.The device history record was reviewed and no discrepancies relevant to the reported event were found.Device has a potential field age of 5+ years and exhibits signs of repeated use.The root cause of the reported event can be attributed to wear and tear of the device from the repeated use over time.The complaint was 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.
