Visual, dimensional, functional and materials analysis could not be performed as the device was discarded by the hospital.Complaint history review for similar events and device history records could not be performed as a valid lot code was not provided and could not be obtained.A screw was reported to have migrated.Patient information along with pathologies and bone quality was not made available.The possible root causes of this range from: hard bone quality; guide/punch awl not used to prepare screw hole; screw hole too shallow; screw threads are worn/stripped; guide not used during screw insertion; screw over angulated.
