Please note the correction to h6 results code.The reported event could be confirmed, since the broken plate is visible on the received x-ray.The broken plate was not returned as it was disposed per hospital protocol, therefore no inspection of the device was possible.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.The provided information was forwarded to medical affairs for review with following feedback: "with the little available information and an x-ray only in one direction it appears that we have complex fracture where the screw placement is debatable.The stability in the construct is not optimal.Movement/ bending forces in the screw hole where the screw was inserted at the fracture line led to breakage." based on the available information it is not possible to define the root cause of this event.More detailed information, like pre- and intra operative x-rays in different views, operation reports, patient history and as well as the affected device including lot number must be available for a complete assessment.If more information is provided, the case will be reassessed.
