Information was received from a healthcare professional via manufacturer representative regarding a screw used in posterior cervical fusion therapy for cervical dislocation fracture.It was reported that during the procedure, an attempt was made to install the screw to the screwdriver, but the screw head was fixated and could not be moved, so it could not be installed.It was determined to be a defective product, so a new product was opened and it was installed without any problems.The operation was completed successfully.The device did not come in contact with the patient.No patient symptoms were reported.It was reported that when the device was taken out of the box and attached to the screwdriver, the issue was noticed for the first time.It was the first use of the product.No further complications were reported/anticipated.
