Event or Problem Description
It was reported the implant on the front did not fit well and they had to press.The implant was delivered in (b)(6) 2017 but due to patient problems it could not be placed until 2019.The doctor had to reduce the implant a little before placing, because after almost two years it is logical that the implant would not fit.When trying to place it, the surgeon forced too much and made the wound.The revision due to infection is captured on mfr #0001032347-2019-00158 through 0001032347-2019-00160.
 
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
This follow-up is being submitted to relay additional information.Reported event was confirmed by review of post-operative ct scans.Upon review of the ct scans, it can be seen that the implant does not fit the patient's defect area well.No product was returned and no test or inspections could be performed.This implant was eventually removed in a revision due to infection.The distributor suggested it may have been caused from a wound created when the physician tried to place the implant.The distributor provided that the implant was placed approximately 18 months post-manufacturing.Dhr was reviewed and no discrepancies were found.Investigation results concluded that the reported event was due to changes in the patient's anatomy from the time of the initial scan was taken for the design of the implant to when the implant was placed.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.
