Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The device was not returned for evaluation.The reported securing mechanism fracture and screw migrations was confirmed through inspection of the associated radiographic image.The construct was composed of a three (3) level plate, six (6) screws, and interbody spacers.Both screws at the caudal-most level of the construct migrated from the plate.A review of manufacturing history could be not performed as the subject lot number could not be identified.Complaint history was reviewed for the corresponding catalog number and no adverse trends were identified.Correspondence with field representative states that the patient was implanted with hardware on (b)(6) 2020.The patient allegedly experienced external trauma (fall), and the screw migration and securing mechanism fracture were observed subsequently.According to the ozark surgical technique, instantaneous loading due to patient activity can cause the implant could break, bend, or loosen.The most likely root cause of the reported event is post-operative trauma (patient fall).H3 other text: device not returned for evaluation.
