Investigation results were made available.Additional: h2, h6.Correction: b4, b5, g3, g6, h10.Review of event description: it was reported that the patient received an implant on (b)(6) 2019 and revised on (b)(6) 2021 due to implant fracture.Review of received data: due diligence: no further due diligence required as all required information to support the conclusion is available or was already requested.Radiology report review of the radiology reports was completed by a health care professional.This review identified a fracture of the second most proximal screw noted on (b)(6) 2020.Product evaluation: no product was returned; therefore, visual and dimensional evaluation could not be performed.Review of product documentation: device purpose: all involved devices are intended for treatment.Product compatibility: the product combination was approved by zimmer biomet.Dhr review: review of the device history records identified no deviations or anomalies during manufacturing.Ncr(s): no ncr with a potential correlation to the reported event was found.Conclusion: it was reported that the patient received an implant on (b)(6) 2019 and revised on (b)(6) 2021 due to implant fracture.Based on the investigation the reported event can be confirmed for one screw.However, as it is unknown which of the two screws fractured, the event cannot be confirmed for both devices.The quality records show that all specified characteristics have met the specifications valid at the time of production.Therefore, the investigation did not identify a nonconformance or a complaint out of box (coob).Based on the given information and the results of the investigation, we were not able to identify a specific root cause for this issue.The need for corrective measures is not indicated and zimmer switzerland manufacturing gmbh considers this case as closed.Zimmer biomet's reference number of this file is (b)(4).
