Manufacturer Narrative
|
This complaint has been generated based on findings discovered during post market surveillance literature review.The alleged screw cut-out mentioned in the article could not be confirmed, however, the literature clearly indicates that the increased dpg is highly associated with failure of varus change of the proximal fragment, which is closely related to entry point selection and canal preparation.So it can be concluded that the event is user-related.If any additional information becomes available, the investigation will be reopened and re-evaluated accordingly.
