Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
Risk assessment; device history review, complaint history review and device inspection were not performed as the lot # was not provided and the instrument was not returned.A plausible root cause for the tip fracture is user deviating from surgical technique and excessive impaction force to insert the screw into a hard bone.
