Product analysis: visual review of the implant confirmed the ¿ears of the -03 top component deformed and broken.Microscopic examination of the -03 peek top component scalloped features did identify and witness marks, suggesting possible physical obstruction during attempted implantation which prevented full insertion into the vertebral disc space.The above observations are consistent with implant fracture due to brittle overload during attempted implantation.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.
