Manufacturer Narrative

The reported event could partially be confirmed, based on the state of the implants returned.The pictures provided revealed that the screw holes where the two peripheral screws were inserted have expended, in such a way that the material around it is very damaged.On one side of the baseplate, the screw hole has been damaged so severely that there is hardly any material left on one border.The deformation also makes the determination of the lot number for the baseplate impossible since the material around it disappeared.More detailed information about the complaint event such as the x-rays must be available in order to determine the root cause of the complaint event.A review of the device history was not possible because the lot number was not communicated.No corrective actions are required at this time.A review of the labeling did not indicate any abnormalities.No indications of material, manufacturing or design related problems were found during the investigation.If the device is returned or if any additional information is provided, the investigation will be reassessed.
