This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional information.The following sections were updated: g3; h2; h3; h6.No product was returned or pictures provided; visual and dimensional evaluations could not be performed.Review of the device history records identified no deviations or anomalies during manufacturing.Radiographs were provided and reviewed by a health care professional.Review of the available records identified the following: the images show a small gap between the calcar and collar of the femoral stem which would coincide with surgeon report of a perched stem.It is not possible to determine if the pps coating is the cause from these images-per the literature, perfect calcar-collar contact is achieved in less than 50% of collared stems and there are several possible causes for improper collar-calcar contact including (but not limited to) low femoral osteotomy or rotation of the component in relation to the final broach.A definitive root cause cannot be determined.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 trends.
