A review of the internal documentation and the device showed that an older version of the patient specific plate was used to design the patient specific guide.Because of this, the holes pre-drilled with the guide did not match up with the holes of the plate used in surgery.Should additional information become available and an investigation result be available that changes this assessment, an amended medical device report will be filed.

A patient specific guide was used to perform a mandible reconstruction.It was reported that the holes pre-drilled with the guide did not match up with the holes of the plate used in surgery.A delay of around 1 hour in surgery was reported.Surgeon reported that occlusion may be an issue, bone segments may not unite as well, implant direction not optimal, only two, instead of 4 implants were placed, more manipulation of the fibula segments that may compromise part of flap survival.Surgeon reported that another surgery will be required.
