Additional Manufacturer Narrative
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, 10.The event cannot be confirmed.No product was returned or pictures provided; visual and dimensional evaluations could not be performed.Review of the reported event by a health care professional found the following; 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.Root cause of the reported event is determined to be not device related.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.
