Please note corrections to sections d9/h3 the device was returned, and h6 (method and results codes).The reported event could be confirmed, since the device was returned, and is indeed broken in two.One of the arms of the silicone implant is broken, most probably because of the wear of the material after multiple cycles of flexion-extension.More detailed information about the complaint event such as some patient info (activity levels), x-rays, as well as the implantation date must be available in order to determine the root cause of the complaint event.A review of the device history was not possible because the lot number was not communicated.No corrective actions are required at this time.A review of the labeling did not indicate any abnormalities.No indications of material, manufacturing or design related problems were found during the investigation.If more information is provided, the case will be reassessed.
