Manufacturer Narrative

Based on the available information the device will not be returned therefore an evaluation of the device cannot be performed.Should additional information become available, it will be provided in a supplemental report.H3 other text : device remains implanted in the patient.

Event Description

As reported: "when drilling to insert a lateral stop screw into the distal dynamic hole, the drill hit into the posterior wall of the nail.Surgeon tried to correct the trajectory, but because of the hole, surgeon ended up not being able to insert the screw through the device, so he removed the device and managed to insert the screw freehand.".

Manufacturer Narrative

As the nail was implanted and the surgical procedure successfully completed by free-hand-technique, this could be interpreted as an indication that no discrepancy with the nail used was suspected.Therefore, considered as concomitant and thus, this complaint is closed without further investigation.Finally, based on above and referring to the fact that nothing was reported at the time of pre-functional check performed, which is required before surgery, it could not be excluded that the case is rather related to sub-optimal intraoperative procedure.However, a check of both in combination was impossible as only counterpart was made available and further technical statement could not be given.Finally, as pointed out in the labelling ¿discard all damaged or mishandled implants¿.Complementary information about this event can be found under the main investigation for the targeter.If any additional information is provided indicating otherwise the record will be reopened and the investigation will be reworked.
