review of the reported event by a health care professional found: \
\
arthrofibrosis is defined as the development of fibrous scar tissue within or surrounding a joint.Arthrofibrosis is a known postoperative procedure related complication that can occur from surgical implantation of new joint replacement as well as from previous injuries or surgical procedures.Scar tissue formation is a normal healing response; however, the buildup of such can result in pain, stiffness, limited range of motion, and difficulty properly ambulating.If excess scar tissue develops, conservative measures such as exercises or physical therapy would be attempted first.If these attempts fail, surgical intervention such as manipulation under anesthesia, arthroscopic arthrolysis, or open arthrotomy would become necessary to remove the fibrous tissue and restore joint function.\
\
this is a limited investigation, as per (b)(4), a review of the device history record and complaint history review will not be completed for limited investigation complaints as the product meets the applicable acceptance criteria.\
\
the root cause of the reported event was determined to be unrelated to the device.\
\
this complaint is not confirmed.\
\
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.
