(B)(4). REPORTED EVENT WAS CONFIRMED BY REVIEW OF RADIOGRAPHS. DEVICE HISTORY RECORD (DHR) REVIEW WAS UNABLE TO BE PERFORMED AS THE LOT NUMBER OF THE DEVICE INVOLVED IN THE EVENT IS UNKNOWN. ROOT CAUSE WAS UNABLE TO BE DETERMINED AS THE NECESSARY INFORMATION TO ADEQUATELY INVESTIGATE THE REPORTED EVENT WAS NOT PROVIDED. VISUAL EXAMINATION OF THE PROVIDED PICTURES IDENTIFIED THE STEM/FEMORAL BODY HAD FRACTURED IN HALF. PRODUCTS ARE COVERED IN BIO-DEBRIS. NO FURTHER EVALUATION CAN BE MADE FROM THE PROVIDED PICTURES. RADIOGRAPHS IDENTIFIED A GAP BETWEEN THE FEMORAL BODY AND THE FEMUR, BUT NOTHING DENOTING A LACK OF PROXIMAL SUPPORT IN THE REPORT. NO EVIDENCE OF OSTEOLYSIS. THE STEM IS IN GOOD POSITION IN THE CANAL, AND THERE IS GOOD DISTAL FIXATION. IT WAS NOTED THAT THE SIZE OF THE PROXIMAL BODY WAS INADEQUATE (SMALL) RELATIVE TO THE FEMUR, BUT THE SHAPE IS ADEQUATE. 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.

THIS FOLLOW-UP REPORT IS BEING SUBMITTED TO RELAY ADDITIONAL AND/OR CORRECTED INFORMATION. UPDATED: G3, G6, H2, H6. REVIEW OF COMPLAINT HISTORY FOUND NO ADDITIONAL RELATED ISSUES FOR THESE ITEMS AND THE REPORTED PART AND LOT COMBINATIONS. MEDICAL RECORDS WERE PROVIDED AND REVIEWED BY A HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONAL. REVIEW OF THE AVAILABLE RECORDS IDENTIFIED THE FOLLOWING: AN INITIAL LEFT THA WAS PERFORMED. A REVISION OCCURRED ON DUE TO LOOSENING OF THE FEMORAL COMPONENT WITH NO OSSEOINTEGRATION. SINCE THEN, HE HAS BEEN NOTED TO HAVE DEGENERATIVE CHANGES IN HIS BONES IN MULTIPLE AREAS OF HIS BODY, WITH A FALL NOTED AS WELL. THE PATIENT FELT A SHARP PAIN WHEN GETTING OUT OF HIS TRUCK. X-RAYS DETERMINED THE STEM HAD FRACTURED. A REVISION OCCURRED DURING WHICH THE FEMUR FRACTURED WHILE REMOVING THE STEM. THE HEAD, LINER, AND STEM CONSTRUCT WERE EXPLANTED AND REPLACED WITH ZB PRODUCTS. THE PREVIOUS RADIOGRAPH REVIEW INDICATES THERE WAS A GAP BETWEEN THE PROXIMAL BODY AND THE FEMUR. AS X-RAYS WERE NOT PROVIDED PRIOR TO THE FRACTURE, IT CANNOT BE CONFIRMED IF THE PROXIMAL BODY WAS PROPERLY SUPPORTED INITIALLY, OR DEGENERATIVE CHANGES MAY HAVE CAUSED THE GAP THAT WAS NOTED. A DEFINITIVE ROOT CAUSE CANNOT BE DETERMINED. WITH THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IT CANNOT BE DETERMINED IF THE PROXIMAL BODY WAS SUPPORTED INITIALLY OR DEGENERATIVE CHANGES/A FALL CAUSED THE GAP NOTED BETWEEN THE BODY AND THE FEMUR. THIS COMPLAINT WAS CONFIRMED BASED ON THE PROVIDED PICTURES OF THE FRACTURED DEVICE, MEDICAL RECORDS, AND X-RAYS. 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.
