Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
The reason for the revision reported cannot be confirmed from the information provided but may be the result of the locking clip not being fully engaged at the time of initial surgery, allowing the locking clip to fracture and disengage from the tibial plate over time.However, this cannot be confirmed as images, radiographs, or relevant clinical information were not provided.Potential contributions of user and patient-related considerations to the event could not be assessed as the devices were not available for evaluation.D4: corrected.H6: corrected health effect, medical device, component, and investigation clinical codes.
