Correction: h3.Yes.H6.Investigation findings: 3252.Investigation conclusions: 61.Device evaluation: visual inspection of the proximal end of the graft bolt revealed that it sheared through the proximal-most fenestration approximately 11 mm from the bolt head.Additionally, a portion of the shank thread major had been peeled away.The root cause may be the result of elevated insertion torque.Labeling review: warnings/cautions/precautions: care should be taken in performing screw hole preparation to facilitate a proper graft bolt insertion trajectory and implantation.Confirm under fluoroscopy that the graft bolt insertion angle is as close as possible to a 40° trajectory.A shallow or incorrect graft bolt trajectory may result in encroachment of the spacer and lead to graft bolt breakage.Possible adverse effects: possible adverse effects include: initial or delayed loosening, bending, dislocation, and/or breakage of device components.
