    Additional Manufacturer Narrative · 0

    THIS FOLLOW-UP REPORT IS BEING SUBMITTED TO RELAY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. BASED ON THE INFORMATION PROVIDED, THE PATIENT HAD A HISTORY OF MULTIPLE JOINT SURGERIES, INCLUDING TOTAL AND PARTIAL KNEE AND HIP REPLACEMENTS. ADDITIONALLY, THE PATIENT'S OBESE STATUS INCREASED MECHANICAL LOAD ON THE JOINT IMPLANTS. REPEATED SURGERIES INCREASE THE RISK OF BONE QUALITY DEGRADATION WHICH COULD AFFECT THE STABILITY AND LONGEVITY OF THE IMPLANT FIXATION. THE CAUSE OF THE LOOSENING OF THE FEMORAL COMPONENT IS LIKELY MULTIFACTORIAL, WITH CONTRIBUTING FACTORS SUCH AS PATIENT-RELATED INFLUENCES (E.G., WEIGHT), PREVIOUS SURGICAL INTERVENTIONS, AND THE COMPLEX NATURE OF REVISION ARTHROPLASTY. THERE IS NO EVIDENCE TO SUGGEST THAT PALACOS® R+G OR PALACOS® R DIRECTLY CAUSED OR CONTRIBUTED TO THE LOOSENING OF THE FEMORAL IMPLANT. RADIOGRAPHS WERE PROVIDED AND REVIEWED BY A HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONAL. REVIEW OF THE AVAILABLE RECORDS IDENTIFIED THE FOLLOWING: HINGED PROSTHESIS RIGHT TOTAL KNEE ARTHROPLASTY WITH SIGNIFICANT LOOSENING OF THE FEMORAL COMPONENT, OSTEOPENIA IS PRESENT. A DEFINITIVE ROOT CAUSE CANNOT BE DETERMINED. THE COMPLAINT IS NOT CONFIRMED. 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.
