Manufacturer Narrative

The reported event could be confirmed, although the product was not returned however images & revision usage sheet were provided that matches the alleged failure mode.The device inspection was not possible as the product was not returned for investigation.A review of the device history for the reported lot did not indicate any abnormalities.No corrective actions are required at this time.A review of the labeling did not indicate any abnormalities.More detailed information about the complaint event as well as the affected device must be available in order to determine the root cause of the complaint event.However, based on the available information it¿s clear that the device was manufactured in 2012 and corelating it with the event date, root cause would be possibly due to but not limited to patient factor (poor bone quality, nonunion, activity and traumatic overload) rather than device related.If device is returned or any further information is provided, the investigation report will be reassessed.
