It was reported that after an initial bunion surgery on (b)(6) 2024, a fully threaded screw was removed on (b)(6) 2024 due to backing out and tenting the skin.No other patient outcomes were reported as a result of this event.Additional information indicates the patient's bones were completely fused/healed.No devices were returned for evaluation.The device history records were reviewed and no issues were identified during the manufacture and release of the devices that could have contributed to what was reported.A number of factors could have contributed to what was reported and although the most likely cause cannot be determined based on the available information, it is possible the screw that backed out was not completely locked into the plate during initial placement and/or post-operative activity of the patient led to loosening of the hardware.The company will supplement this mdr as necessary and appropriate.
