This report is being submitted pursuant to the provisions of 21 cfr, part 803.This report may be based on information which has not been investigated or verified prior to the required reporting date.This report does not reflect a conclusion by depuy synthes, or its employees that the report constitutes an admission that the product, depuy synthes, or its employees caused or contributed to the potential event described in this report.If information is obtained that was not available for the initial report, a follow-up report will be filed as appropriate.H11 additional narrative: the product was returned to depuy synthes for evaluation.Visual inspection of the returned device found that it was in used condition.The screw was cracked at distal end, and had foreign matter, presumably biological matter.No other anomalies were noted.The overall complaint was confirmed as the observed condition of the milagro inscr small size 6x23 would have contributed to the complained device issue.Based on the investigation findings, resistance may have been felt when the device was being inserted and the excessive force applied caused the screw to break.As per instructions for use, if resistance is felt during the insertion of a milagro interference screw over a guidewire, stop and confirm that the guidewire is not entrapped.If entrapped, back out the screw and withdraw the guidewire.Properly handling and attention to the approved use of the device diminishes the risk of failure.It has been determined that no corrective and/or preventative action is proposed.There is no indication that a design or manufacturing issue has caused the reported complaint condition.As part of depuy synthes quality process, all devices are manufactured, inspected, and released to approved specifications.Additional monitoring for any potential safety signals will be conducted through complaint trending and other post-market safety surveillance activities.Device history review: there was no non-conformance regarding this lot.
