We found 37 models of Avenir Complete by Zimmer, Inc. in the FDA's device registry (GUDID). Together they are named in 94 adverse event reports in the FDA's MAUDE database, received between May 18, 2020 and Sep 11, 2026 — classified as 52 injuries, 42 malfunctions.
The most frequently reported specific device problem is “Fracture” (32 reports).
Reports come from manufacturers, hospitals and patients and are not verified by the FDA. A report does not prove the device caused the event. Widely used products collect more reports, so totals can't be used to compare products or estimate failure rates. Only reports that name a model's exact device identifier are counted.

Recent Avenir Complete adverse event reports
The 15 most recent reports across all models, in the reporter's own words as published by the FDA.
InjurySep 11, 2026Difficult to Advance
It was reported that during a primary total hip arthroplasty, a size 2 coxa vara femoral stem became firmly engaged distally during insertion and remained proud by approximately 1 to 2 cm, resulting in an intraoperative revision.During femoral preparation, the canal was rasped to size 2 and trialed with a coxa vara configuration, which was deemed to provide an appropriate fit. Upon implantation, the stem could not be advanced further despite multiple attempts. Extraction instruments were not available in theatre, necessitating an extended trochanteric osteotomy to facilitate removal. There was a significant intraoperative delay while additional instrumentation was transported from another site. Following removal of the stem, reconstruction was completed using an alternative stem and cone body.The patient underwent an extended trochanteric osteotomy and was reconstructed intraoperatively with an alternative stem and cone body.Attempts have been made and no further information has been provided.
