The associated complaint device was not returned.The clinical/medical team concluded, based solely on the imaging provided, unable to rule out a malaligned reduction of the proximal humerus fracture and subsequent plate disassociation as a contributing factor to the reported ¿out of place¿ locking plate and subsequent revision.The patient impact beyond possible pain/discomfort and the revision procedure itself cannot be determined.No further medical assessment can be rendered at this time.A review of the production documentation for the corresponding products did not reveal any deviation from the standard manufacturing processes.A review of complaint history for the listed part revealed no prior complaints for the listed batch.Without the actual product involved and/or device information our investigation cannot proceed.If the device or new information is received in the future, this complaint can be re-opened.We consider this investigation closed.
