D6b: date of explant, was corrected from "(b)(6) 2021" to "(b)(6) 2021".Visual, dimensional, material and functional analysis could not be performed as the device was not returned manufacturing records were reviewed for the corresponding lot and no relevant issues were identified.Complaint history record review was performed for this lot, and no similar complaints were identified.Review of x-ray reveals the following.Rod fracture is observed between l4/l5 screw on the patients right side.The iliac screw on the left side attached to the main rod fractured at the head of the screw.This screw shank was unable to be removed.The tulip of the adjacent iliac screw, which is attached by an extender to l1 space, appears to have disengaged from the screw shank.This shank was able to be removed and replaced with a new screw.Additionally, the right l2 screw was removed to make space for a rod extender connecting a new iliac screw on the right.A new iliac screw was added between the 2 existing iliac screws on the left side, and connected to the main rod.The xia ii lp polyaxial screw device ifu were reviewed: these implants are temporary internal fixation devices designed to stabilize the operative site during the normal healing process.After healing occurs, these devices serve no functional purpose and can be removed.The most likely cause of the reported event was determined to be due to the age of device implantation.After one year, fusion is expected and was achieved, therefore the devices served their intended purpose.Due to rod and screw fractures/disengagement occurring on opposite sides, but similar levels, it is potential that a fall/external event may have contributed to the event.However, this cannot be confirmed as it was reported that no external trauma was experienced.H3 other text: no product returned.
