The reported event could not be confirmed, from the available radiographs, and the device was not returned.From the available radiographs, a formal medical opinion was sought: the three screws that were used in the distal fixation holes have a good position and an adequate length.From the x-rays, the reported event of the distal targeting device did not influence the technical outcome of the surgery regarding the placement, position, and length of the three distal screws.A device inspection was not possible since the affected device was not returned and no other evidences were provided for investigation.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.Indications of material, manufacturing, or design related problems were unable to be identified as the lot number was not communicated.More detailed information about the complaint event as well as the affected device must be available in order to determine the root cause of the complaint event.If the device is returned, the investigation will be reassessed.
