Visual inspection performed by medacta spine r&d project manager: during the visual inspection on retrieved implants it was observed that the set-screw were still intact with no sign of threading deformation or breakage.A sawbone was performed on the retrieved set-screw component in order to verify the overall functionality when secured with the associated polyaxial screw component.During the test it was observed a slight friction at the threading interface during advancing.However it was possible to position and secure the set-screws as per standard procedure under 3nm torque.Reverse procedure was successfully performed to remove the set-screw all the way.The test was successfully performed three time with no evidence of implants failure.Based on test result, it was possible to secure and remove the set-screw definably, according to the standard procedure and available instrumentation.The reason of loosening is unknown.It is supposed that the set-screw was not fully secured during the final procedure.
