The alleged event could be reproduced based on the damage patters on the surfaces of the unbroken returned products.Review of device history, labelling, capa databases and risk analysis did not identify any discrepancies.There are no open actions in place related to the reported event for the subject product(s).No indications of material, manufacturing or design related problems were found during the document review.According to found surface pattern the event was initially caused by inappropriate placement of the set screw resulting in uncontrolled lag screw motion towards medial.The surgeon¿s opinion, event occurred due to the set screw, was confirmed.Inappropriate implant placement was regarded as user related.A product deficiency was not verified.In case essential information becomes available we reserve the right to re-reopen the case for investigation and to assess a new root cause.
