This complaint has been generated based on findings discovered during post market surveillance literature review.The alleged metalwork failures (prominent screws), requiring revision, could not be confirmed, since the device was not returned for evaluation and no other additional information was received from the author.More detailed information about the patient medical history, the event circumstances, radiographs and the involved device(s) must be available in order to determine the root cause.If any additional information becomes available, the investigation will be reopened and re-evaluated accordingly.
