We became aware on 3/31/2016, that a sign nail implanted on (b)(6) 2015 to repair a fracture had to be removed due to patient failure to heal.Nail was replaced with a non-sign product; blade plate.Surgeon comments: (b)(6) 2015 "the patient had failed to use crutches and proximal fixation has been lost, fracture has impacted about 2cm.Continue touch weight bearing for now and see if he unites." (b)(6) 2016 "a disaster! he's booked for revision surgery, either revision nailing or a blade plate." (b)(6) 2016 "complete failure of implant with non union and shortening.Nail removed and revised to 90deg blade plate with iliac bone grafting.".
