Method: device history review, complaint history review, risk assessment; result: the fractured portion of the screw remains implanted and the removed portion was not returned at the time this complaint was closed.Upon manufacturing history review, no relevant issues found.Conclusion: due to the absence of device for evaluation and lack of sufficient information, the root cause of this event cannot be determined conclusively, and it therefore multifactorial.
