Manufacturer Narrative

Company was informed of an implant removal surgery that was performed 3.5 months following a correction of hammertoe deformity, where a k-wire from the instrument pack was implanted together with the implant and left in place protruding through the tip of the toe.It was noted that the patient experienced local trauma to the operated toe and stabilizing k-wire post-operatively.Removal surgery was performed successfully.An image of the explanted implant was shared but the device could not be examined as it was not provided to the company.A product investigation was performed.Based on internal analysis of records and procedures, there is no indication of a design, manufacturing or process issue affecting device safety or effectiveness.Local drainage at the insertion point is a common complication following the use of k-wire fixation for hammertoe correction.Based on the investigation it was found that the local trauma to the toe likely contributed to the event.The instructions for use (ifu) recommend that the patient is informed of the surgical risks and possible adverse effects prior to surgery and warned that non-compliance with post-operative instructions (such as early load bearing or trauma) can cause failure of the treatment that could require additional surgery and device removal.Additionally, the ifu states that instruments provided in the instrument pack are not intended to be implanted.As a removal surgery was performed and because the company cannot rule out the possible contribution of the device to the event, out of an abundance of caution, this event is being reported.Company continues to monitor these events as part of post market activities.Additional report from the manufacturer relating to this event is: #3014554088-2023-00001.

Event Description
