This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional information.As a revision surgery was reported, the complaint is confirmed.No product was returned; therefore, no functional tests or inspections could be performed.No x-rays, scans, pictures, or physician's reports were provided.Three follow-up attempts were made to gather additional information including the failure mode that led to the need for a revision surgery; however, no additional information was gathered.The dhr for the mandible component was reviewed.Nc8977 was opened to address one 24-6556 that was scrapped for being undersized.There are no indications of manufacturing defects.This is the only complaint involving part# 24-6556, lot# 793820b.The most likely underlying cause of the complaint cannot be determined.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.
