Visual: locking ring is intact.No deformation/fracture was identified.Device and complaint history records were reviewed for this lot, and no relevant manufacturing issues or similar complaints were identified.Per the stg: excessive pivoting or angulation of the screwdriver while attached to the screw should be avoided as it can cause damage to the screwdriver and/or screw.Note: to ensure proper depth and adequate locking when using the awl, drilling, or locking bone screws, use of a free hand technique is strongly discouraged.Use of the guide/inserter tip or low profile inserter is required.The inserter may separate slightly from the cage throughout the procedure.A gap between the cage and inserter may result in improper seating of the screw.Prior to screw insertion, ensure the inserter is flush to the cage.Screw is locked when the gold color and the black line are no longer visible.The root causes of the screw migration could not be determined conclusively based on the information provided.Most likely the screw was not properly inserted/locked during the initial surgery and caused the screw to migrate one day post-op.Per anchor c risk file, migration may occur due to: -screw was not properly inserted/locked into the implant (due to not using the inserter throughout the entire procedure, overtightening the screw, implanting the screw at difficult angle).-poor patients bone quality.-patient experiences sudden impact.
