Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The revision reported was likely the result of a screw fracture.Implant orientation may have been a contributing factor to in-vivo stress on the screw leading to fracture, but the potential contributions of this user-related issue and patient-related considerations to the event could not be assessed as the devices were not available for evaluation and relevant clinical information were not provided.
