Method: risk assessment.Result: the event was confirmed based communication with sales representative.The screw was removed but not replaced and are unavailable for evaluation.X-rays were not provided.The lot number is unknown, thus, a manufacturing records review could not be completed.Conclusion: as the device and x rays are not available, a definite root cause cannot be identified.It is possible the screw was placed too proud in the bone, which could reduce bone purchase and cause pullout.Patient bone quality could also be a factor as poor bone quality can affect screw purchase.Device not returned.
