It was reported that after an initial bunion surgery on (b)(6) 2025, the hardware had loosened and a broken screw was discovered via radiographic image during a post-op follow-up.No other patient outcomes were reported as a result of this event.The device was not returned for evaluation as it currently remains implanted in the patient.Additional information indicates the hardware may potentially be removed at a later date.The patient is currently in normal shoes with arch support and experiences pain when on her feet and when elevating her feet.The device history records for kits used in this case were reviewed and no issues were identified during the manufacture and release of the devices that could have contributed to what was reported.The most likely cause of the reported event could not be determined as the device was not returned for evaluation.However, the device was likely subjected to excessive bending stresses which resulted in its breakage.The company will supplement the mdr as necessary and appropriate.Additional tmc devices explanted in the same revision surgery were reported in 3011623994-2026-00030.
