Manufacturer Narrative

The reported event that locking compression plate narrow axsos 3 ti 10 hole / l187 mm 5.0 mm locking was alleged of issue s-12 (implant breakage after surgery) could not be confirmed, since the device was not returned for evaluation and no other evidences were provided.A device inspection was not possible since the affected device was not returned and no other evidences were provided for investigation.It was reported, that ¿the patient had a axsos plate and dal-mile cables added on (b)(6) 2018 and then had recently fallen and broke the plate and fractured the femur just below the stem.¿ based on the available information, the root cause was attributed to a patient related issue.The failure was caused due to patient fall.The axsos plate system is an internal fixation system which shall fix the broken bone in a correct position until sufficient bone consolidation is achieved.The axsos plating system is not intended to transmit full forces and bending moments of daily routine.Especially in the lower extremity loading and weightbearing have to be individually reduced.Influence factors for the required load reduction are: the type of fracture (e.G.Transverse fracture with sufficient bone support vs.Unstable comminuted fracture w/o sufficient bone contact), the localisation of the fracture (e.G.Diaphysis vs.Metaphysis), the bone quality (e.G.Bone in younger patients vs.Osteoporosis), correct fracture reduction, correct fixation technique (e.G.Correct dimension of the plate, correct positioning of the plate, sufficient length of the plate, sufficient bending of the plate, correct screw placement).A review of the labeling did not indicate any abnormalities.If the device is returned or if any additional information is provided, the investigation will be reassessed.Device not available to stryker.
