    THIS FOLLOW-UP REPORT IS BEING SUBMITTED TO RELAY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. THE FOLLOWING SECTIONS WERE UPDATED: B4, B5, G3, G6, H2, H3, H6, H11 H11: 0001825034-2025-02231, 0001825034-2025-02232 , 0001825034-2025-02233 , 0001825034-2025-02234, 0001825034-2025-02235, 0001825034-2025-02236, 0001825034-2025-02631, 0001825034-2025-02632. ATTEMPTS HAVE BEEN MADE TO GATHER ALL PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION INFORMATION AND NO FURTHER INFORMATION HAS BEEN PROVIDED. PRODUCT HAS NOT BEEN EVALUATED AS IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED THE EVENT IS NOT RELATED TO DEVICE. ROOT CAUSE OF THE REPORTED EVENT IS NOT DEVICE RELATED. ARTHROFIBROSIS IS DEFINED AS THE DEVELOPMENT OF FIBROUS SCAR TISSUE WITHIN OR SURROUNDING A JOINT. ARTHROFIBROSIS IS A KNOWN POSTOPERATIVE PROCEDURE RELATED COMPLICATION THAT CAN OCCUR FROM SURGICAL IMPLANTATION OF NEW JOINT REPLACEMENT AS WELL AS FROM PREVIOUS INJURIES OR SURGICAL PROCEDURES. SCAR TISSUE FORMATION IS A NORMAL HEALING RESPONSE; HOWEVER, THE BUILDUP OF SUCH CAN RESULT IN PAIN, STIFFNESS, LIMITED RANGE OF MOTION, AND DIFFICULTY PROPERLY AMBULATING. IF EXCESS SCAR TISSUE DEVELOPS, CONSERVATIVE MEASURES SUCH AS EXERCISES OR PHYSICAL THERAPY WOULD BE ATTEMPTED FIRST. IF THESE ATTEMPTS FAIL, SURGICAL INTERVENTION SUCH AS MANIPULATION UNDER ANESTHESIA, ARTHROSCOPIC ARTHROLYSIS, OR OPEN ARTHROTOMY WOULD BECOME NECESSARY TO REMOVE THE FIBROUS TISSUE AND RESTORE JOINT FUNCTION. THE EVENT IS 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.
