Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional information.Examination of the returned articular surface found it exhibits signs of being implanted and shows extreme wear due to the tibial implant fracture.The dhr was reviewed and no discrepancies relevant to the reported event were found.X-rays previously reviewed by the surgeon were provided.Review found tibial subsidence and implant fracture.Images were not sent for further review as it would not enhance the investigation.It was reported that the patient continued to go jogging when advised not to.As stated in the instructions for use, complications and/or failure of prosthetic implants are more likely to occur in physically active patients.The root cause of the reported event is attributed to patient failing to follow manufacturer and medical post-op instructions.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.
