The original bunion correction was performed on (b)(6) 2019 with the crossroads minibunion products listed above.X-ray evidence immediately post-operation shows the plate not fully seated onto the shaft of the 1st metatarsal and a gap at the osteotomy site.At a 1-year post-op follow up visit, x-ray evidence shows a non-union of the osteotomy and a broken non-locking screw.The patient is vitamin d deficient.A revision surgery was performed on (b)(6) 2020 to address the non-union and remove all hardware.None of the replacement hardware used were crossroads products.No non-conformances were identified in review of manufacturing records.Potentially, the plate and non-locking screw did not have adequate fixation intra-operatively due to the plate not being seated completely into position in the metatarsal shaft.Minibunion screws were removed in addition to the plate: ref: (b)(4), ln: 500740 qty: 1 product name: minibunion 4.5mm offset plate long.Ref: (b)(4) , ln: 500726 qty: 1 product name: minibunion locking screw 3.0mm x 16mm.Ref: (b)(4) , ln: 500723 qty: 1 product name: minibunion non-locking screw 2.7mm x 22mm.
