Product analysis: the spacer was returned having fractured at the bottom of the two inserter locating tabs.The fracture emanates from the bottom of the locating tabs and traveled to the outer edge of the spacer.This type of fracture is consistent with compression overload during implantation, that can be the result of the spacer not having a lager enough open area to be installed.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.
