This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional information.The following sections were {update/corrected} updated: d4; g3; h2; h4; h6 bursitis is the inflammation or irritation of the bursae (the fluid filled sac that cushions the joint) and is typically caused by repetitive motion, overuse, and pressure to the bursae.Bursitis is a very common condition that can impact any of the joints and can last for a short duration or years.Symptoms the patient can experience include pain, tenderness, swelling, stiffness, decrease in movement, and/or redness at or around the joint that is involved.Conservative treatment consists of over the counter (otc) medications pain relievers and anti-inflammatories, rest, ice, elevation, and applying pressure wraps.If conservative treatments fail, physical therapy, aspiration, arthroscopy, or steroid injections may be necessary.The complaint indicates that postop bursitis developed and required medical intervention for treatment.No product was returned or pictures provided; visual and dimensional evaluations could not be performed.The root cause of the reported event was determined to be unrelated to the device.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.
