Event Description
|
Device report from synthes reports an event in (b)(6) as follows: it was reported that the patient's subtrochanteric fracture was initially treated with competitor's femur nail, but due to the fracture and the posterior position of the cephalic screw, the material was changed.To help close the fracture site, and reinforce the bone loss caused by the removed material, surgeon placed 3.5 mm cortical screws in the part of the femoral neck.In addition, surgeon reinforced the osteosynthesis of the subtrochanteric fracture with a 3.5mm locking compression (lcp) 6 holes plate.Another pair of 3.5 mm screws was placed to position a fibula bone graft in the lateral cortex due to a significant loss of this part and to help, surgeon placed two (2) 1.7 mm cerclage cables.However, surgeon had to remove one of the cerclage cables because it was not properly positioned and, furthermore, he could not remove it completely and proceeded to place another and fix it to the previously mentioned lcp plate with a positioning pin for 3.5mm lcp.Once this initial part was made, a ø10 130º right tfna l340 nail was placed, fixed with a tfna perf l 105 spiral blade and two (2) 0.5mm locking screws of 36 and 44 mm.To reinforce the spiral blade in the head of the femur, an augmentation was made with 2 doses of traumacem v + previously verified with contrast medium, thus confirming that there is no intra-articular leakage towards the hip.No further information reported.Concomitant device reported: unknown lcp plate (part#: unknown, lot#: unknown, quantity: 1); unknown 3.5 cortex screws (part # unknown, lot # unknown, quantity # 2); unknown 1.7 mm cerclage cable (part # unknown, lot # unknown, quantity # 1).This report is for one (1) unknown 1.7mm cerclage cable.This is report 1 of 1 for complaint (b)(4).
