This follow-up is being submitted to relay additional information.Receipt of additional information of why the surgeon chose the wrong technique identified a difference to our previous response.The surgeon is a high volume user, well aware of standard technique for rhk and has a standard practice to use the 130in-lbs torch wrench.The error of the incorrect picture was identified by zimmer biomet during a review of investigation and did not impact the surgeons decision.The picture for illustration purpose only shows a 95in-lbs torch however; the directions for use state the correct recommendation of use at 130in-lbs in which the surgeon performed.With the new information, 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 for trends.
