Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
The fracture at the tibial end of the absorber was observed during the device removal and confirmed on initial analysis of the device.The root cause is a supplier error.An incorrect drill was used resulting in an inaccurate drill point angle and reduced material thickness.This might increase the risk of implant fracture in one lot where the supplier error occurred.
