It was reported that after an initial bunion surgery on (b)(6) 2025, all hardware was removed during a revision surgery on (b)(6) 2025 due to pain, loss of correction and a broken screw that was discovered via a radiographic image from a 3-week post-op follow-up.The surgeon removed the hardware and inserted wires to hold the correction in place.No other patient outcomes were reported as a result of this event.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, the broken screw was likely subjected to excessive bending stresses which resulted in its breakage and contributed to the loss of correction.The company will supplement the mdr as necessary and appropriate.
