Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
Nonunion of the bone occurred most likely due to the osteopenic condition of the patient's bone.It appears that the cyclic loading after the nonunion resulted in the unscrewing of the connector and the failure of the most distal cortical screw.Both consequences are predictable considering the long period of implantation with the nonunion (more than 2 years).
